Aironet 1310 Antenna question

[ServicedeskSTS]

Hello,

ive got a question about the antenna of the aironet 1310. is there any difference between AIR-BR1310G-E-K9 and AIR-BR1310G-E-K9-R in basic configuration?

we had a bridge between 2 AIR-BR1310G-E-K9. but the non-root bridge went broken due its age. (connector pin was broken and couldnt get it out)

we had an AIR-BR1310G-E-K9-R on spare, so we only replaced the antenna but we coulnd not get a connection between the 2. diddnt change to power injector or config.

after som fiddling with the broken antenna we managed to get the pin out. changed the wire between the antenna and power injector and placed it back. and it worked like a charm.

so does anyone has an awnser for me? add 2 pictures. the only difference i can see are the 2 extra ports on the K9-R.

The 'R' at the end is supposed to specify that it's the model with RP-TNC connectors for an external antenna.  The model without the R should have an internal antenna.

alright, so you always need an external antenna for the R typ to get it to work. it is not like it is an extra feature? (just to clarify)

thanks for the awnser!

Yes that's correct the R version doesn't have an antenna until you supply it.
