When APs are in a Virtual Cell

All APs on the same channel in a Virtual Cell must have the same setting for these

values:

 RF-Mode

 Channel Width

 N-only Mode

Configure Gain for External Antennas

The total power that an AP produces must not exceed 30dbi; this number includes

any antenna gain. Therefore, if an antenna produces 2dbi, the radio can produce

28dbi. System Director automatically sets antenna gain; in the case of an

AP300/AP400, it assumes an antenna with 5dbi and therefore sets the AP300/AP400

to 25dbi. This may or may not be correct for your antenna.

To check and change antenna gain, follow these steps from System Director:

1. Click Configuration > APs (under Devices).

2. Select an AP ID.

3. Click the Antenna Property tab.

4. Select an Interface (1/2).

5. Change the gain if needed.

6. Click OK.

ESSID Security AP300/AP400/AP1000 Realize These 11n Benefits

Clear and

WPA2

All 11n benefits are realized.

WEP and WPA No 11n benefits are realized. Clients

behave like legacy ABG clients.

Mixed Mode

11n performance in ESS configured for mixed mode depends on

kind of application used in the network.

Only WPA2 clients

connected to mixed mode have 11n benefits.

WPA clients behave like

legacy ABG clients.
