                  AP-514: 
                      Four RP-SMA connectors for external dual band antennas (A0 through A3, corresponding with radio chains 0 through 3). Worst-case internal loss between radio interface and external antenna connectors (due to diplexing circuitry): 1.3dB in 2.4GHz and 1.7dB in 5GHz.AP-515: 
                      Four integrated dual-band downtilt omni-directional antennas for 4x4 MIMO with peak antenna gain of 4.2dBi in 2.4GHz and 7.5dBi in 5GHz. Built-in antennas are optimized for horizontal ceiling mounted orientation of the AP. The downtilt angle for maximum gain is roughly 30 degrees. 
                          Combining the patterns of each of the antennas of the MIMO radios, the peak gain of the effective per-antenna pattern is 3.8dBi in 2.4GHz and 4.6dBi in 5GHz. | Other Interfaces

                  The AP supports direct DC power and Power over Ethernet (POE; on port E0)When both power sources are available, DC power takes priority over POEPower sources are sold separately; see the ordering Information section below for detailsWhen powered by DC or 802.3at POE, the AP will operate without restrictionsWhen powered by 802.3af POE and with the IPM feature enabled, the AP will start up in unrestricted mode, but it may apply restrictions depending on the POE budget and actual power. What IPM restrictions to apply, and in what order, is programmable.When powered by 802.3af POE with the IPM feature disabled, the AP operates in power-save mode, and will apply some fixed restrictions: 
                      The USB interface and E1 Ethernet port are disabledThe 5GHz radio is restricted to 2x2 operationMaximum (worst-case) power consumption: 
                      DC powered: 17WPOE powered (802.3at): 19WPOE powered (802.3af): 13.5WAll numbers above are without an external USB device connected. When sourcing the full 5W power budget to such a device, the incremental (worst-case) power consumption for the AP is up to 6.5W.Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode: 11W (DC or POE)Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in deep-sleep mode: 1W (DC or POE) Mounting 
                  A mounting bracket has been pre-installed on the back of the AP. This bracket is used to secure the AP to any of the (sold separately) mount kits; see the ordering Information section below for details. Mechanical
