"External Antenna" settings for 35° Directional Antenna

AnonymousM — Thu, 21 Jun 2018 09:12:47 GMT

We're installing several for 35° directional antenna's (Ventev's TerraWave High Density 14 dBi Patch Wi-Fi Antenna, link below) outside on the AP1130. What would we set the "External Antenna" settings to?

I think you'd be limited to "other". If you run the command "interface wifiX radio antenna antenna type ?" it shows all the options available for external antenna's. Other seems to be the only non-Aerohive related option.

Output:

AH-0cde00#interface wifi0 radio antenna type

omni Set the antenna type to be Aerohive-certified

omnidirectional for point-to-multipoint wireless links

other Set the antenna type to be any other antenna that is not

certified by Aerohive

sector-120 Set the antenna type to be Aerohive-certified 120-degree

sectoral for point-to-multipoint wireless links

sector-60 Set the antenna type to be Aerohive-certified 60-degree

sectoral for point-to-multipoint wireless links

How would the "External Antenna" settings change the AP's behaviour when choosing the "other" option vs. to the "omni" option?
