The Altitude 802.11n AP has three antennas: left, middle, and right. The illustration below identifies the
left and right antennas.
Left antenna
The Altitude 802.11n AP is configured, by default, to transmit on all three antennas. Depending on your
deployment requirements, you can configure the Altitude 802.11n AP to transmit on specific antennas.
You can configure the Altitude 802.11n AP to transmit on specific antennas for both radios, including all
the available modes:
radio b/g/n
radio a/n
When you configure the Altitude 802.11n AP to use specific antennas, the following occurs:
Transmission power is recalculated - The Current Tx Power Level value for the radio is
automatically adjusted to reflect the recent antenna configuration. It takes approximately 30 seconds
for the change to the Current Tx Power Level value to be reflected in the Altitude 802.11n AP.
Radio is reset - The radio is reset causing client connections on this radio to be lost.
To modify Altitude 802.11n AP radio properties:
1 From the main menu, click Altitude AP Configuration. The Altitude APs page is displayed.
