Help with AP Antenna positioning for AIR-ANT2524DW-R

Hi,

I've been browsing discussion threads for some time now, and this is my first post.

I tried to piece together information on how to position the antennas just received but still have a couple of questions about them. 

The AIR-ANT2524DW-R antenna has a flat side. Do I point that side in the direction that needs coverage?  Or does it even matter how they're positioned or pointed to?  They're going to be installed on an AIR-CAP2602E AP.  Thank you.

 That antenna irradiates side way and theorically iqually in all direction like any other omnidirectional antenna. If the AP is going to be installed on the ceiling the antenna must stay up side down.  and if the AP is going to be put over a table the antenna must stand like a pole. 

Ceiling.

Thank you so much. Trying to piece together information from the 'net was getting too confusing.  Appreciate your help.

These antennas has vertical polarization so they are intendeed to be installed in vertical way, so if you have a wall-mounted AP, you should articulate the antennas to be in vertical position.
