  • 1.  Antenna Type Identification remotely

    Posted Nov 17, 2015 12:50 AM

    Hi,

     

    I have IAP-204-RW APs. We are using 2 type of Antennas. Details of which are as below.

     

    AP-ANT-1W

    AP-ANT-25

     

    Is there any way we can check remotely which Antenna is connected to which APs thorugh any commands or GUI?

     

    Also I would like to know which dBi value we have to set under AP--> Edit --> Enternal Antenna --> 2.4GHz Antenna Gain and 5GHz Antenna Gain for both these type of Antennas (AP-ANT-1W & AP-ANT-25).

     

    Please let me know if you require any more information.

     

    Niren

    Unfortunately antennas are passive devices and there is no way to tell remotely what type is connected to the AP.  The info on the gain is in the datasheets.
