antenna-id (ap510e)

Profile Config Commands

Configures the antenna ID on an AP510e model access point profile and device. Use this command to specify the antenna types used with the external antennas.

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).

The antenna-id parameter, specifies the antenna type used in the group-1 and/or group-2 antenna ports. The antenna ports used by the AP to receive/transmit traffic depends on the software mode its running. Refer, following table for information on the antenna group used for the different software modes:

Antenna Ports
Software Mode 2.4/5G Antennas: 1, 2, 3, 4 5G Antennas: 5, 6, 7, 8
Mode 1
  • Radio 1 - 2.4 GHz WLAN
  • Radio 2 - 5 GHz WLAN
Note: This mode requires only FOUR, dual-band antennas connected to ANT sockets 1 to 4.
Note: If using this mode, configure antenna-id only for the group 1 antennas.
 Dual-band 2.4 GHz/5 GHz None
Mode 2
  • Radio 1 - 2.4/5 GHz Sensor
  • Radio 2 - 5 GHz WLAN
Note: This mode requires FOUR, dual-band antennas connected to ANT sockets 1 to 4, and FOUR, 5G-band antennas connected to ANT sockets 5 to 8.
Note: If using this mode, configure antenna-id for both group 1 and group 2 antennas.
 Dual-band 2.4 GHz/5 GHz 5 GHz
Mode 3
  • Radio 1 - 5 GHz WLAN
  • Radio 2 - 5 GHz WLAN
Note: Requires FOUR, 5G-band antennas connected to ANT sockets 1 to 4, and FOUR, 5G-band antennas connected to ANT sockets 5 to 8.
Note: If using this mode, configure antenna-id for both group 1 and group 2 antennas.
 5 GHz 5 GHz

Supported in the following platform

Syntax

antenna-id external [group-1|group-2] <ANTENNA-TYPE>

Parameters

antenna-id external [group-1|group-2] <ANTENNA-TYPE>
antenna-id Selects the antenna group to use.
external States the antenna is external
group-1 Configures the antenna type used in the group-1 antenna ports (1 to 4).
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.
group-2 Configures the antenna type used in the group-2 antenna ports (5 to 8 ).
Note: Group-2 antenna configuration is ONLY required for software modes 2 & 3.
Note: Refer to the table above for the supported software modes and the corresponding antenna configurations.
antenna-type Configures the antenna type used

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.

By default no antenna-type is associated with the group-1 and group-2 antenna ports and the radio is disabled.
