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}
