Wireless Access

I have six AP-634 access points that I will be connecting AP-ANT-345 antennas to.  I have not been able to find much information out there on which antenna cables go to which antenna connectors on the AP-634.  I know that A0 and A1 are for 2.4GHz and 5GHz and B0 and B1 are for 6GHz, but there's no documentation with the AP-ANT-345 or AP-634 explaining which cables to connect to each connector.  The cables on the AP-ANT-345 are labeled WLAN1, WLAN2, WLAN3, and WLAN4.  Am I to assume that A0-WLAN1, A1-WLAN2, B0-WLAN3, and B1-WLAN4?

All ports on that antenna are tri-band, so from that perspective it does not matter.

However, you would want two 90 degrees cross polarized elements to be connected to each radio.

To do so, connect ports 1 and 2 to one radio, and ports 3 and 4 to the other radio.

1+4 and 2+3 works as well, but combining 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 (co-polarized elements) is not recommended.

I'm not sure I'm following what you are saying.  On the AP I have A0 (2.4GHz connection), A1 (5GHz connection), and B0 B1 (6GHz connections).  Which cables, WLAN1, WLAN2, WLAN3, WLAN4, go to each connection?

A0 and A1 are dual-band.  B0 and B1 are 6 GHz.

Connect A0 to port 1 on the antenna.

Connect A1 to port 2 on the antenna.

Connect B0 to port 3 on the antenna.

Connect B1 to port 4 on the antenna.

Doing this will result in each radio having a cross-polarized antenna setup.

Let's assume Port 1 to 4 is WLAN1 to WLAN4 correct? 

If by chance we had the AP-ANT-325, Iris is adding two of them which doubles the price which I believe is an error since it comes with 4 connectors  ??

ANT-325 is a two port antenna.  You'd need two of the ANT-325 for an AP-634.

Let's assume Port 1 to 4 is WLAN1 to WLAN4 correct? 

If by chance we had the AP-ANT-325, Iris is adding two of them which doubles the price which I believe is an error since it comes with 4 connectors  ??
