System Requirements
              The AIR-ANTM2050D-R antenna requires a Cisco 802.11a/b/g radio product that uses a RP-TNC
              connector.



Installation Notes
              This antenna is designed to be mounted directly to the access point. For information about orienting the
              dipole antenna, see the hardware installation guide for your access point.
              In addition to antenna orientation, wireless access point installation location with respect to all wireless
              clients plays a significant role in determining overall network performance. Clients at the furthest
              coverage points might have 10% to 50% of the bandwidth of clients close to it. Wireless network
              coverage in one area or location might need to be lowered to improve the performance of other clients.

 OL-6846-01                                                                                                                       7


Installation Notes




                      Because antennas transmit and receive radio signals, their performance can be adversely affected by the
                      surrounding environment including distance between access point and client, physical obstructions, or
                      radio frequency (RF) interference.
                      Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:
                       •   Wherever possible, mount the AP HWIC and antenna where the wireless devices would be within
                           sight and avoid physical obstructions. Barriers along the line of sight between client and access point
                           will degrade the wireless radio signals. AP HWICs and antennas can be installed above floor level
                           in office environments or near the ceiling for better performance since most obstructions tend to be
                           near floor level.
                       •   The density of the materials used in a building's construction determines the number of walls the
                           signal must pass through and still maintain adequate coverage. Consider the following before
                           choosing the location to install your antenna:
                            – Paper and vinyl walls have very little effect on signal penetration.
                            – Solid and precast concrete walls limit signal penetration to one or two walls without degrading
                                coverage.
                            – Concrete and wood block walls limit signal penetration to three or four walls.
                            – A signal can penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood.
                            – A thick metal wall or wire-mesh stucco walls causes signals to reflect back and cause poor
                                penetration.
                       •   Avoid mounting the antenna next to a column or vertical support that could create a shadow zone
                           and reduce the coverage area.
                       •   Keep the antenna away from reflective metal objects such as heating and air-conditioning ducts,
                           large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use an
                           extension cable to relocate the antenna away from these obstructions.


          Caution     Install the AP HWIC and any antennas away from appliances that share the same frequency bands.
                      Microwave ovens, cordless telephones, and security monitors can temporarily interfere with wireless
                      performance.



          Caution     We recommend you avoid installing wireless antennas in or near rack-mounted installations that include
                      networking equipment and computer servers whose radiated noise emissions can severely degrade radio
                      performance.



             Note     If the desired installation site has a marginally acceptable level of radiated noise emissions, consider
                      using a remote-mounted antenna, such as a wall-mount or ceiling-mount antenna, for better radio
                      performance and coverage.

Safety Instructions
                        Follow these safety instructions when installing your antenna.


              Warning   In order to comply with FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, antennas should be located at a
                        minimum of 7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the body of all persons. Statement 332

                         •   Plan your installation procedure carefully and completely before you begin.
                         •   If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as that of others, seek
                             professional assistance. Consult your dealer, who can explain which mounting method to use for the
                             location where you intend to install the antenna.
                         •   Choose your installation site with safety as well as performance in mind. Remember that electric
                             power cables and telephone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any line is an electric
                             power line until determined otherwise.
                         •   Call your local power company or building maintenance organization if you are unsure about cables
                             close to your mounting location.
                         •   When installing your antenna, do not use a metal ladder. Do dress properly: shoes with rubber soles
                             and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket.
                         •   If an accident or emergency occurs with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help
                             immediately.

                                                                                                     Obtaining Technical Assistance




              Note   Use the Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool to locate your product serial number before submitting
                     a web or phone request for service. You can access the CPI tool from the Cisco Technical Support
                     Website by clicking the Tools & Resources link under Documentation & Tools. Choose Cisco Product
                     Identification Tool from the Alphabetical Index drop-down list, or click the Cisco Product
                     Identification Tool link under Alerts & RMAs. The CPI tool offers three search options: by product ID
                     or model name; by tree view; or for certain products, by copying and pasting show command output.
                     Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label location highlighted.
                     Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information before placing a service call.



Submitting a Service Request
                     Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3
                     and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require
                     product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides
                     recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service
                     request is assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:
                     http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest
                     For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone.
                     (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.)
                     Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business
                     operations running smoothly.
                     To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
                     Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
                     EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
                     USA: 1 800 553-2447

Definitions of Service Request Severity
                     To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity
                     definitions.
                     Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is “down,” or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You
                     and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
                     Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your
                     business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco
                     will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
                     Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations
                     remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service
                     to satisfactory levels.
                     Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or
                     configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
