The Smart Antenna is powered by the Access Point by a DC-coupled RP-SMA antenna cable. The power consumption of the Smart Antenna is 2.5 W from the Access Point. The maximum power consumption of the Access Point is the same regardless of whether the optional Smart Antenna is equipped or not. This is because the Smart Antenna draws its power during the uplink cycle when the Access Point power consumption is not at its maximum.
