Profile Overrides Antenna-id (AP510e/AP560h Only)
This section describes the antenna-id configuration for the AP510e and AP560h model access points.
The ExtremeMobility AP510e access point is a dual-radio access point, with eight, external Wi-Fi antennas grouped into: group-1 (antenna ports 1 to 4) and group-2 (antenna ports 5 to 8). To enable the AP510e radio, it is mandatory to configure the antenna-id. The antenna-id parameter specifies the antenna type used in the group-1 and/or group-2 antenna ports.

The ExtremeMobility AP560h access point is a dual-radio access point, with eight, internal Wi-Fi antennas, supporting two internal antenna modes: 30 degree and 70 degree.
To enable the AP560h radio, it is mandatory to configure the internal antenna mode as '30 degree' or '70 degree'.
To override the AP510e/ap560h access point profile's antenna-id configuration at the device level:
- Go to .
-
Select the target AP510e/AP560h
device.
The selected device's configuration menu is displayed.
-
Expand the
Advanced menu and select Antenna.
Advanced Device Overrides - Antenna Screen
-
In the Antenna External
Parameters section, configure the following AP510e antenna-id
settings:
Note
This configuration is needed only if the target device-type is AP510e.Antenna ID Group 1 Option Use this drop-down menu to configure the antenna type used in the antenna ports 1 to 4 (group-1 antennas). The antenna types supported for 'group-1' and 'group-2' antenna ports are: ai-dq04360s, ml-2452-apa2-01, ml-2452-apa2-02, ml-2452-hpa5-036, ml-2452-hpag4a6-01, ml-2452-hpag5a8-01, ml-2452-pna5-01r, ml-2452-pna7-01r, ml-2452-pta4m4-036, ml-2452-sec6m4-036, ws-ai-dq05120.
The default setting is 'Default', that is no antenna-type associated with the group-1 antenna ports and the radio is disabled.
Note: Group-1 antenna configuration is required for all three software modes.Note: Refer to the table above for the supported software modes and the corresponding antenna configurations required.Antenna ID Group 2 Option Use this drop-down menu to configure the antenna type used in the antenna ports 5 to 8 (group-2 antennas). The antenna types supported for 'group-1' and 'group-2' antenna ports are: ai-dq04360s, ml-2452-apa2-01, ml-2452-apa2-02, ml-2452-hpa5-036, ml-2452-hpag4a6-01, ml-2452-hpag5a8-01, ml-2452-pna5-01r, ml-2452-pna7-01r, ml-2452-pta4m4-036, ml-2452-sec6m4-036, ws-ai-dq05120.
The default setting is 'Default', that is no antenna-type associated with the group-2 antenna ports and the radio is disabled.
Note: Group-2 antenna configuration is ONLY required for software mode 3.Note: Refer to the table above for the supported software modes and the corresponding antenna configurations required. -
In the Antenna Internal
Parameters section, configure the following AP560h antenna-id
settings:
Note
This option is visible only if the device-type selected is AP560. This configuration is needed only if the target device-type is AP560hAntenna ID Internal Option Use this drop-down menu to configure the internal antenna mode. The options are: - Default - This is the default setting. In the default setting, no antenna-mode is associated and the radio is disabled. Select either on of the following options to turn-on the radio.
- internal-560h-30 - Sets the mode as 30 degree.
- internal-560h-70 - Sets the mode as 70 degree.
