WLAN 2300 Series Outdoor Solution with AP Mounted in NEMA Enclosure 59
• Overall system efficiency by effectively directing available energy to where it's needed.
• System utility for any installation.
The WLAN 2300 series outdoor external antennas are the only external antennas certified by Nortel for use
with WLAN 2300 Series systems. WLAN Access Points AP 2330A and AP 2330B that are outfitted with
non-certified outdoor external antennas are not supported under Nortel support agreements.
The WLAN 2300 Series system must be upgraded to WSS Software 5.0.11.4 or later and WMS 5.0.11.3 or
later. This upgrade includes antenna pattern libraries for the WLAN 2300 series outdoor external antenna
portfolio and allows the system to:
• Compensate for extension cable loss and lightning protection circuitry that is essential for operation in an
outdoor environment.
• Correctly interpret received signal strength measurements from APs with external antennas when calculating
rogue device or client location.
The WLAN 2300 Series System outdoor external antenna portfolio is sourced from Cushcraft, a world leader
in the development of advanced antenna technology and products.
• The Cushcraft products have been modified for compatibility with the AP 2330A and AP 2330B Access
Points.
• Nortel versions are equipped with an R-SMA type connector to comply with Nortel's quality and regulatory
standards and correctly interface with the AP 2330A and AP 2330B Access Points.
• The Cushcraft model numbers presented throughout this bulletin refer to the Nortel specific versions and
may not exactly match similar versions promoted on Cushcraft's website or other product materials.
• Nortel has tested and measured each product. The antenna gains expressed in dBi measurements are the
Nortel tested values and may differ slightly from those published by Cushcraft for similar products.
Note.
Only use Nortel approved antennas with the AP 2330A or AP 2330B access points.
