AIR-1562e

Can I install one omni and one directional antenna on a single 1562E access point and use the one for 2.4GHz and the other for 5GHz?

What antenna are you intending to use.
1562E antennas are usually dual-band.

One AIR-ANT2547VG-N (omni) and one AIR-ANT2588P3M-N= (directional). I Know, they are both dual band. I will rephrase my question. Can I install both of them on a single 1562E. I need to cover an omni area with the AIR-ANT2547VG-N and a downhill steep path with the AIR-ANT2588P3M-N=. If both work as dual band it will be optimal. It is acceptable though, if one needs to work at 2.4GHz and the other at 5GHz.

Thanks

Look at THIS picture, particularly the right-hand side.  Top ports are for 5 Ghz and the bottom ports are 2.4 Ghz.  
Does this answer your question?

Yes, thanks!
