External Antenna question

thundervr — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 17:04:46 GMT

Our facility uses Cisco Aironet 1532E access points paired up with AIR-ANT2588P3M-N directional antennas.

The question I have is, "how do you determine the polarization configuration of the antenna?" The antenna has 3 N-Type connectors, labeled Antenna A, Antenna B and Antenna C. The 1532E uses bottom antenna (ports 1 and 2) for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (dual band) support, that is the configuration we use.

Issue is the documentation fails to give information to support the connector hookup for proper Polarization for the bands and horizontal/vertical. Will somebody provide more information for this antenna?

When installing the AIR-ANT2588P3M-N with the Cisco Aironet 1530 Series AP, connect the outermost antenna ports (marked ‘1’ in Figure 2-18) to the AP’s dual band antenna ports.
