Nortel Networks 2300 manual Configuring the External Antenna Model

274Configuring AP access points

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-3xxmodels 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.

Table 18: Nortel External Antenna Models

Model	Type	Beamwidth
		Horizontal	Vertical
ANT-5060	802.11a	60°	14°
(ASTN6S)1
ANT-5120	802.11a	120°	14°
(ASTN6T)
ANT-5180	802.11a	180°	14°
(ASTN6H)
ANT-1060	802.11b/g	60°	65°
ANT-1120	802.11b/g	120°	60°
ANT-1180	802.11b/g	180°	40°

1.The numbers in parentheses are the numbers that appear on the back of an 802.11a antenna’s reflector plate. To verify an 802.11a external antenna’s model number, look for the number in parentheses.

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}
