NWA/WAC Series CLI Reference Guide 124
CHAPTER 23
Antenna Switch
This chapter shows you how to adjust coverage depending on the orientation of the antenna.
23.1 Antenna Switch Overview
On the NWA/WAC that comes with internal antennas and also has an antenna switch, you can
adjust coverage depending on the orientation of the antenna for the NWA/WAC radios using the
web configurator, the command line interface (CLI) or a physical switch. .
Note: With the physical antenna switch, you apply the same antenna orientation settings
to both radios. You can set the radios to have different settings while using the web
configurator or the command line interface.
Note: The antenna switch is not available in every model. Please check the User’s Guide
or datasheet, or refer to the product page at www.zyxel.com to see if your NWA/
WAC has an antenna switch.
23.2 Antenna Switch Commands
The following table describes the commands available for the antenna switch function. You must
use the configure terminal command before you can use these commands.
