    Hi,

     

    I have some questions on provisioning for ap-314 with four AP-ANT-20W .

    cannot find solution on datasheet or from the Internet.

    mobility controler 6.5.4.10

    I try the AP wizard , but no ANT-20W in the list of antenna.

    so in the provision page for an AP314 : 

    ap installation mode : indoor

    external antenna Gain, 5GHz : 0.0 ?  2.4GHz : 0.0 ?

    external antenna Polarization  5GHz and 2.4GHZ :

    0-CO-Polarized or 1-Cross-Polarized  ?

     

    if someone can tell me what values and choice made for this antenna model , it will be great :)

     

    for record , from the matrix-antenna :

     

    Type   Dual-band omni, direct mount

    BAND(S) 2.400 GHz - 2.500 GHz     4.900 GHz - 5.875 GHz

    PEAK GAIN          2.0 dBi                        2.0 dBi

    POLARIZATION & ELEMENT TYPE  Linear, vertical. Omnidirectional patterns at all frequencies

    BEAMWIDTH (DEGREES)  360 (H-plane) 80 (E-plane)

    VSWR < 2.0 :  1

    MAX INPUT POWER     2 watts

     

    regards,

    Gain for provisioning can be copied from the matrix or antenna datasheet.

    Assuming will be co-polarized when deployed correctly (all parallel).

    Hi,

     

    Thanks a lot for the answers. 

     

    What if the antenna are moved from parallel to all directions  ?

     

    explanations :

    we install parallel but in a warehouse and sometime (even at +12meter from the ground ) a good pallet can touch the antennas and set them in all directions.

     

    Regards

    Then your coverage areas get messed up, and you will see reduced MIMO performance and throughput.
