20.1.1 What You Need To Know

Positioning the antennas properly increases the range and coverage area of a wireless LAN.
On the NWA1000 Series that comes with internal antennas and also has an antenna switch, you can
adjust coverage depending on the orientation of the antenna for the NWA1000 Series radios using the
web configurator, the command line interface (CLI) or a physical switch. Check
see if your NWA1000 Series has an antenna 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 in the web configurator has priority over the physical antenna
switch after you Enable Software Control in the Maintenance > Antenna screen. By
default, software control is disabled.
