Hey together,
i´ve got a problem with a new AP-374 and my 7005 Controller. We´ve configured a WLAN on the controller and a AP-Group within 2 305-AP´s. And now i want to add the 374 to the group as well. That works fine so far, but the 374 wont send any WLAN-Signal.
I´ve connected a external antenna (JW024A) to the 374 (on Port 2G0).
Is there any configuration to be made? I´ve just provisioned the 374 accesspoint just the same way as the 305 AP´s.
Here you can see the options that i made for the 374:
Is the antenna gain correct? Thas what i found in the installation guide.
Is this the only antenna connected to the 374? The antenna gain is correct for the 2.4GHz radio, but a 5GHz antenna gain of 28 is not valid with the information provided so far.
The antenna you mentioned provides two antenna leads, both of which need to be connected to the AP-374. Both the 2G0 and 2G1 interfaces should be connected to the antenna.
I'm assuming the the controller has been upgraded to 8.3.x since the AP-374 is available for provisioning, but want to rule out the obvious problem first.
Not knowing how the existing SSIDs are configured, from what you've described the is only a 2.4GHz antenna connected, with no antenna connected for 5GHz. If the SSIDs are configured for 5GHz, there will be no signal transmitted.
Any unused antenna connectors should have terminators installed to protect the radios.
