274 Configuring AP access points
320657-A
To configure the 802.11b radio on port 11 for channel 1 with a transmit power of 10 dBm, type the following command:
23x0# set ap 11 radio 1 channel 1 tx-power 10
success: change accepted.
To configure the 802.11a radio on port 5 for channel 36 with a transmit power of 10 dBm, type the following command:
23x0# set ap 5 radio 2 channel 36 tx-power 10
success: change accepted.
You also can change the channel and transmit power on an individual basis.
Configuring the External Antenna Model
The 2330 has connectors for attaching optional external 802.11a or 802.11b/g antennas. The 802.11b/g radios in AP
models AP-341 and AP-352 have an internal antenna but can use an external antenna. The AP-262 802.11b/g radio
requires a Nortel external antenna.
All AP-3xx models use the internal antennas by default. The 802.11b/g radio in an AP-262 uses external antenna model
ANT-1060 by default.
Table 18 lists the external antenna models you can use with these APs.
To specify the external antenna model, use the following command:
set {ap port-list | dap dap-num} radio
{1 antennatype ANT1060 | ANT1120 | ANT1180 | internal} |
{2 antennatype ANT5060 | ANT5120 | ANT5180 | internal}

802.11a antenna’s reflector plate. To verify an 802.11a external antenna’s
model number, look for the number in parentheses.
