Professional Install Settings

To configure external antennas on an AP, add the AP to a valid device group. Then configure the antennas:
  1. Go to Configure > Devices > Access Points.
  2. Select an AP model that offers configurable antennas.
    Note

    Note

    Professional Install is offered on AP models with external antennas and on AP models that have internal selectable antennas. The AP must be a member of a valid device group.
  3. Select Professional Install.
The fields and corresponding antenna value options on the Professional Install dialog depend on the selected AP and the antenna models that are available. Select an antenna for each available port. By default, the two antennas must be identical. However, you have the option to select No Antenna for the second antenna port. Select the antenna model from the drop-down field. Choose the desired attenuation for each radio from the drop-down list. Selectable range is from 0 to 30 dBI. Additionally, the AP3915e, AP3917e, and AP510e access point models offer an external IoT antenna.
Note

Note

Single-band antennas limit the AP operation to the radio that is associated with the antenna and reduce the sensor functionality of the IoT sensor radio.
