Want to Buy AP 7532 and it's compatible Antenna

Ravi_Patel — Fri, 08 Mar 2019 01:28:42 GMT

Hi,
Is there anyone who can help me in this?
In Past, we had purchased some Extreme AP 7532 with External antenna model ML-2452-APA2-01(Black)
But now when I am going to purchased new AP 7532 from CDW, it shows white antenna. So,
I called CDW and tried to find out what model of antenna is coming with this AP, but they don't have any knowledge about that. They said talk to Extreme.
I have seen same type of antenna ML-2452-APA2-02(White).
So, I am confused what is the difference between ML-2452-APA2-01(Black) and ML-2452-APA2-02(white) antenna?
Which model of antenna should I purchased and what model of antenna is coming default with AP 7532 on CDW?
Thank you for your help.

Hi Ravi,

you should be able to find all the information in the installation guide which you'd download in the Documentation section on the Extreme Networks webpage.

Hello Ravi,

Here's a link to the antenna guide for your perusal: ANTENNA GUIDE

But to answer your question in regards to the difference between the ML-2452-APA2-01(Black) and ML-2452-APA2-02(white) antennas: They both have the same specs and are the exact same antenna except for the color they come in. If you prefer a black antenna go with 01 and if you prefer a white antenna go with 02 (AP color is white).

I do not believe the antennas are included with the AP, leaving antenna choice up to the customer, but you'll have to check with CDW on this.

Thank you,

Chris

Hi Ronald,
Thanks for your reply.
I checked the installation guide and it says it support ML-2452-APA2-01 antenna model.
I didn't see ML-2452-APA2-02 in that list so, now it says I should purchase ML-2452-APA2-01 model of antenna.
But on CDW website under Antenna description it's not showing antenna model no.

Hello Ravi,
The External antenna model ML-2452-APA2-01(Black) is not longer available.

External antenna P/N: model ML-2452-APA2-01(Color Black) – has been discontinued…
Discontinued description = Black Antenna: 2.4/5 GHz, Indoor: Type: Dipole (Paddle): Gain: 3dBi/2.4GHz, 4dBi/5GHz: Beam Width: E-Plane: 35 degrees, H-Plane: 360 degrees: Connector RP-SMA Male

Noting The Replacement Antenna ML-2452-APA2-02 referenced Color is White BUT also has the SAME exact antenna characteristics / description as follows:

The replacement External Antenna P/N: ML-2452-APA2-02, EXTREME NETWORKS, ANTENNA, INDOOR, DIPOLE, GAIN: 3DBI/2.4GHZ, 5DBI/5GHZ, BEAM WIDTH: E-PLANE: 35 DEGREES, H-PLANE: 360 DEGREES, CONNECTOR: RP-SMA MALE, WHITE

In this scenario you will be OK to order the ML-2452-APA2-02 as a valid antenna replacement

Hope this helps
