SAFETY
The HP J9659A antenna and all associated equipment should be
installed in accordance with all applicable local and national electrical
code guidelines to ensure safe operation.
Before connecting an external antenna to an HP Wireless Access
Point, be sure that the access point radio power levels are set in
accordance with local regulatory requirements. For information on
setting radio power levels, see Transmit power control in the
MSM3xx/4xx Access Points Management and Configuration Guide.
For mandatory antenna power settings by country/region, look for
Antenna Power-Level Setting Guide (for MSM products) at
www.hp.com/networking/support.
Please read all instructions carefully before attempting to
install and use this product.
Grounding: Proper system grounding is essential.

DESCRIPTION
The HP J9659A is an indoor ceiling grid-mounted omnidirectional
array especially designed for use with dual-radio 802.11n access
points. Six independent vertically polarized radiators provide
omnidirectional coverage for meeting rooms, offices, departmental
areas, or other enclosed spaces.
ANTENNA LOCATION
For best results, mount the HP J9659A at ceiling level near the center
of the coverage area. A line-of-sight path between the antenna and
active floor locations works best. Avoid mounting next to a column or
vertical support that could create a shadow zone and reduce coverage
to a portion of the room.

A threaded post on the back of the antenna and a supplied mounting
nut are the primary mounting method when access is available to both
sides of the mounting surface, such as a suspended ceiling tile. Mark
the desired mounting location on the tile and cut a 40mm (1.57”) hole.
Feed the cables through the hole and secure the antenna with the
mounting nut. The included rubber locking gasket should only be used
with the mounting nut when mounting to a hard surface. If access to
the back of the mounting surface is limited, there are two mounting
holes that can be used with #8 screws and expanding anchors (not
supplied).
Connect the three blue antenna leads to an AP radio configured for
5 GHz and connect the three black antenna leads to an AP radio
configured for 2.4 GHz.
