Using 2 Cambium 4 Port Antennas on 4600 AP

We have a need to use two sector antennas on one 4600 AP. Can a Cambium 4 port Sector Antenna be used with just two of the ports on it, such that we could use two of these antennas on one 4600 radio? This would give us a figure 8 pattern, with one sector mounted looking West and one sector mounted looking East.

If this will work, what would be the gain of each antenna? Specs show 17db but is that with using both of the antennas in the sector and with beamforming enabled?

typically antenna specs do not include processing gain as part of its specs. If it does then it should indicate that. I know for example Ubiquity was doing that for some time and using a high role off to make their specs look better. But if you look at the spec sheet it told you that. Each port on an antenna is an individual element / antenna so you can use 1 port if you wanted.
