62 External Antennas
The WLAN 2300 series external antennas are the only external antennas certified by Avaya for use with
WLAN 2300 systems. WLAN Series 2332 Access Points outfitted with non-certified external antennas
are not supported under support agreements.
The WLAN 2300 system must be upgraded to WSS Software v6.0 (or later) and WMS v6.0 (or later) in order
to support Series 2332 access points and their associated external antennas. This upgrade includes antenna
pattern libraries for the WLAN 2300 series external antenna portfolio and allows the system to:
●
Accurately predict RF environments when using the WMS planning tool to calculate coverage
provided by access points equipped with external antennas.
●
Correctly interpret received signal strength measurements from APs with external antennas when
calculating rogue device or client location.
The WLAN 2300 System 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 Series 2332 access points.

Avaya versions are equipped with an R-SMA (reverse SMA) type connector to comply with industry
regulatory quality standards and correctly interface with the
