Fixed Antennas
The BSAP includes two omni-directional antennas for wireless communications.
The antennas support diversity whereby the signal transmitted from both antennas
is identical, but only the best signal received on one of the antennas is used. The
antennas transmit the outgoing signal along a horizontal plane perpendicular to
the antenna (in the shape of a toroidal sphere). Therefore, you may want to
position the antennas in a range of 45 to 90 degrees from each other to provide
better coverage.
LED Indicators
The BSAP provides four
status light-emitting diodes
(LEDs). These status LEDs
are illustrated at right and
