Antenna Mode
Three options are available for the type of antenna you
have connected to the Aironet 4000 Series Wireless
LAN Adapter:
• Antenna Diversity: This allows the PC Card to use
the stronger signal from the two antenna ports.
Diversity can help the radio maintain the RF
connection in areas of interference. Due to the
nature of how RF signals are affected by the
surroundings, one antenna may be in an RF “null”
where the signal is very weak, but the other
antenna (even though it is only a small distance
away) may have a stronger signal strength. The PC
Card would automatically select the antenna that
has the highest signal strength. Antenna Diversity
is the recommended setting for the standard
Snap-On antenna.
• Right Antenna Only (J1): Choose this option if the
antenna you are using is connected to the right
hand antenna port and you are not using the
standard Snap-On antenna. The PC Card will not
attempt to communicate using the left hand
antenna port since no antenna is connected to it.
