Introduction
The AP 100 802.11b Access Port provides area RF coverage to 802.11b wireless network
devices. The AP 100 Access Port includes different installing options, allowing best
placement for optimum range.
The standard mounting base allows securing the unit to most surfaces with two screws.
The above-ceiling mounting option secures the unit to the ceiling using the ceiling-
mount light pipe screw.
The AP 100 Access Port receives power and transfers data through the same
(Ethernet) cable.

The AP 100 Access Port has two separate antenna configuration models: an internal
antenna model and external antenna connector model. The external antenna connector
model allows for Symbol approved antennas to be attached to the AP 100 Access Port.
The two models are shown in the following figures.
