The professional installer configures Radio RF ports where antenna
ports will be connected.
To configure Radio RF Ports through the ExtremeWireless Assistant:
Procedure
Log into the Wireless Assistant.
From the top menu, click AP.
The
screen displays.
Select APs in the left pane, then in
the list, click the whose
properties you want to modify.
The AP Properties tab displays
information.

When configuring the AP3965e, click Professional Install.
The Professional Install
dialog displays to configure the external antennas.

Modify the radio antenna type as follows:
If attaching quad port antennas, configure all four
RF ports with the same antenna type.
If attaching triple port antennas, configure ports
1, 2, and 3 with the same antenna type and configure port 4 (non-active
port) to No
Antenna.
If attaching dual port antennas, configure ports 1
and 2 with the same antenna type and configure ports 3 and 4 (non-active
ports) to No
Antenna.
If attaching single port antennas, configure port 1
to the selected antenna type and configure ports 2-4 (non-active ports)
to No
Antenna.
Modify Radio Attenuation as follows:
Add any attenuation (dBm non-negative) due to cable
loss or attenuator added to the line between AP port and the
antenna.
Same attenuator loss is assumed and is required for
all 4 ports of the radio except when one or more ports is not connected
to the antenna and is properly terminated as describe in the next
step.
The professional installer is responsible for
accurately configuring port attenuation. Never configure port
attenuation higher than the actual attenuation between the AP port and
the antenna.
Install a terminator (rf 50 Ohm) on all ports
where an antenna is not connected.
