Installing External Antennas
When operating in the 5GHz UNII-1 band, all Omni Directional antennas should be installed vertically, and
all directional antennas should be installed with the main beam aimed parallel to or tilted down toward the
horizon.
Note
The following table shows the external antennas supported by the IW-6300H access point and provides
required quantities for each model.
