"External Antenna" settings for 35° Directional Antenna

[AnonymousM]

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?

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

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
