    Posted Dec 20, 2013 12:13 PM

    i can't seem to get the straight answers. i called the aruba support team and i posted these questions a couple of days ago but i haven't seen the any replys yet 

     

    i have an ap 224 and ap-ant 17. i need to install the ap inside the building and antenna outside the building. my atenna cables are short so i need pig tail cables. i was recommened to use ANT-CBL-1 pigtail cable but this has N type connectors on both ends. 

     

    first, it's not compatible with AP 224 RP-SMA connectors.

    lastly, it wouldn't work with AP (female), pigtail cables (male - male), lightning arrestors (male - female), and antenna (male) 

     

    please reply 

    thank you

    Are you sure you got the ANT-17?  That has RP-SMA connectors.  Please see this list - we have a 120, 60 degree and omni available for the 224:

    i didn't mention but i was also recommended to use ap ant 92, ant-cbl-1, and ap-lar-1

    regardless it wouldn't work because of the pigtail cables. do you have male to female pigtail cables?

     

    do i need to switch out the ap since it's not N type connectors?

    i just talked to two aruba engineers and one sales team and nobody can answer my questions.

     

    all you have to do is open up the specs and you will know what i am taking about here. if iam wrong then let me know

     

    i am not trying to put anybody on the spot. i was told by airheads to use ap 224, ap ant 92, ant-cbl-1, and ap-lar-1.

    will it work? if not then what's the solution? do you have female to male pigtail cables?

    do i need a new AP to make it compatible to N type connectors?

     

    thank you

    OK...I looked at your post history.  I told you to use those accessories but in your original question there was no AP model defined.  There was in another reply but no one answered that followup question.  

     

    Apologies for any confusion but here are your current answers.

     

    We do not sell any RP-SMA to N connector adaptors.  You can procure them through a third party.  

     

    If you want another AP, the accessories you have will work with the AP175
