258 Configuring AP access points
320657-A
AP access point models AP2750, AP-241 and AP-341 have a single radio that can be configured for 802.11a or 802.11b/
g. Other AP models have two radios. One radio is always 802.11a. The other radio is 802.11b/g, but can be configured
for 802.11b or 802.11g exclusively. If the country of operation specified by the set system countrycode command does
not allow 802.11g, the default is 802.11b.
AP model AP-262 requires an external antenna for the 802.11b/g radio. You must specify the Nortel antenna model.
AP-3xx models have an internal 802.1b/g antenna as well as a connector for an external antenna, so use of an external
antenna is optional on these models. The 2330 also has a connector for an optional external 802.11a antenna. To specify
the antenna model, use the set {ap | dap} radio antennatype command. (See “Configuring the External Antenna
Model” on page 274.)
AP radios configured for 802.11g also allow associations from 802.11b clients by default. (To disable support for
802.11b associations, see “Disabling 802.11b Client Associations on 802.11b/g Radios” on page 270.)
To set ports 11 through 14 and port 16 for AP access point model 2330 and enable PoE on the ports, type the following
command:
23x0# set port type ap 11-14,16 model 2330 poe enable
This may affect the power applied on the configured ports. Would you like to
continue? (y/n) [n]y
To set ports 5 through 8 for AP access point model AP-241, enable PoE on the ports, and set the radio type to 802.11a,
type the following command:
23x0# set port type ap 5-8 model AP-241 poe enable radiotype 11a
This may affect the power applied on the configured ports. Would you like to
continue? (y/n) [n]y
Configuring an Indirectly Connected AP
If an AP access point that you want to manage using the WSS switch is indirectly connected to the switch through a
Layer 2 or Layer 3 network, configure the AP using the following command:
set dap dap-num serial-id serial-ID
model {AP2750 | AP-52 | AP-101 | AP-122 | AP-241 | AP-252 | AP-262 |
AP-341 | AP-352 | 2330}
[radiotype {11a | 11b| 11g}]
The dap-num parameter identifies the Distributed AP connection for the AP. The range of valid connection ID numbers
depends on the WSS switch model:
• For an WSS-2380, you can specify a number from 1 to 300.
• For an WSS-2370, you can specify a number from 1 to 100.
• For an WSS-2360, you can specify a number from 1 to 30.
• For an WSSR-2350, you can specify a number from 1 to 8.
Note. All AP models except the 2330 and AP2750 have been discontinued but
are still supported by the command.
