Configuring Antenna Gain
You can configure antenna gain for APs with external connectors using Instant UI or CLI.
In the Instant UI
1. Navigate to the
Access Point
tab, select the access point to configure, and then click
edit
.
2. In the
Edit Access Point
window, select
External Antenna
to configure the antenna gain value. This
option is available only for access points that support external antennas, for example, W-IAP134.
3. Enter the antenna gain values in dBm for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
4. Click
OK
.
In the CLI
To configure external antenna for 5 GHz frequency:
(Instant AP)# a-external-antenna <dBi>
To configure external antenna for 2,4 GHz frequency:
(Instant AP)# g-external-antenna <dBi>
Configuring Radio Profiles for a W-IAP
You can configure a radio profile on a W-IAP either manually or by using the Adaptive Radio Management
(ARM) feature.
ARM is enabled on Instant by default. It automatically assigns appropriate channel and power settings for the
W-IAPs. For more information on ARM, see
Adaptive Radio Management on page 250
