antenna-mode

Configures the antenna mode (the number of transmit and receive antennas) on the access point

This command sets the number of transmit and receive antennas on the access point. The 1x1 mode is used for transmissions over just the single -A- antenna, 1xALL is used for transmissions over the -A- antenna and all three antennas for receiving. The 2x2 mode is used for transmissions and receipts over two antennas for dual antenna models. 3x3x3 is used for transmissions and receipts over three antennas for AP8163 models. The default setting is dynamic based on the access point model deployed and its transmit power settings.

Supported in the following platforms:

Access Points — AP7502, AP7522, AP7532, AP7562, AP7602, AP7612, AP7622, AP7632, AP7662, AP8163, AP8432, AP8533

Syntax

Parameters

antenna-mode [1*1|1*ALL|2*2|default]


antenna-mode	Configures the antenna mode
1*1	Uses only antenna A to receive and transmit
1*ALL	Uses antenna A to transmit and receives on all antennas
2*2	Uses antennas A and C for both transmit and receive
3*3	Uses antenna A, B, and C for both transmit and receive
default	Uses default antenna settings. This is the default setting.

Usage Guidelines

To support STBC feature on AP7161 profile, the antenna-mode should not be configured to 1*1.
