58 AP 7161 Access Point
3.1 Antenna Type Configuration
For AP 7161 to operate properly, the antenna type and antenna gain must be configured manually.
Select antenna type with following command:
ap71xx-XXXXXX (config-device-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-if-radio1)#service antenna-type ap7161-dipole
Select antenna gain with following command:
ap71xx-XXXXXX (config-device-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-if-radio1)# antenna-gain <units in dBi>
Select VMM antenna type (if available) with following command:
ap71xx-XXXXXX (config-device-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-if-radio1)# service antenna-type ap7161-vmm
These changes can also be made in the device profile configuration file.
3.2 Automatic Channel Select Override
Under certain conditions (e.g. the presence of a 40 MHz channel intolerant client or a legacy device on the
extension channel), a radio which has been configured for 40 MHz channel operation may automatically select the
20 MHz channel. To override or restore automatic channel selection, use the following commands:
ap71xx-XXXXXX (config-device-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-if-radio1)#service ignore-ch-width-mgmt
ap71xx-XXXXXX (config-device-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-if-radio1)#no service ignore-ch-width-mgmt
This change can also be made in the device profile configuration file.
NOTE For FCC and ETSI requirements, set the 2.4GHz antenna gain to 8 dBi and set the 5GHz
antenna gain to 10 dBi.
