I am in the process of installing a new wireless network in our offices and I was wondering if I can add an extension to the cable that connects my AIR-ANT-1728 to my AIR-CAP-3502e AP to get better coverage in our offices?
View 4 RepliesThe 3502e has 3 antenna terminals for each band. Is the order of connection to the antenna pigtails significant? The antenna pigtails are not marked ABC (just blue boots for 5GHz.)
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe 3502e has 6 antenna connections, 3 for each band, 5GHz band is marked in blue. The antenna pigtails are only marked with the matching color - 3 blues or 3 blacks. No A,B or C. Does it matter which pigtail goes to which of the 3 terminals so long as the band is correct?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am still new to wireless. I have been studing for my CCNA Wireless for about 6 months now so I still have a lot of questions.
Right now I have to deploy some new APs. We are using 3502e APs. I have a qustion on how to mount antennas for these access points. I have to make a mounting bracket the new installations. What was done with the previous APs was to mount a unistrut beam to an I beam in the building. There is 2 AIR-ANT-1728's and 2 AIR-ANT-5160V-R antennas mounted straight out on the unistrut. Then they put a T bracket on the unistrut and mounted a second bar 90 degrees from the main bar and connected the third 1728 and 5160 antennas on the second mounting bracket. So we have 4 antennas in a row, and two off to the side 90 degrees from the other 4 antennas.
My question, is this OK to have them this way, or would it be better to have all 6 antennas in a straight line when I fabricate my new AP brackets?
Here is a picture of what I am talking about. This would be looking at it from above.

Unfortunately my housemate in the attic room's signal seems to be a problem. I'm wondering if it would be possible to remove one of my routers two antennas solder some copper wire to the spot it was removed, then have the wire go up to the 1st floor and re-solder the antenna up there (mount it on the wall or something). I'm confident with the practicalities of actually doing this, but I'm not that techie when it comes to electronics. I'm not sure whether it would need more power to boost it over such a distance.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am setting and configure the Cisco AP 1240AG with 5GHz External Antenna extension. The whole product is called iWap. The problem now is that the wireless signal amplitude only can reach 3 bars instaed of ful 5 bars.
Few questions I have for this setup and configuration :
1. What is the default or original frequency of antenna of Cisco AP1240AG? Can a 5GHz antenna work with the AP 1240AG whereby it is run with 802.11a and 802.11g?
2. If 5GHz antenna can work with 802.11a or 802.11g, what is the setting or configuration needed to be done at the Cisco 1240AG? Or, no setting or configuration needed because it will automatically work by default?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a few 1142N Aironets with internal antennas in place, and I am not thrilled by its coverage. I want to extend my wireless network because of a new building which led me to the following question;Is there is any difference in wireless coverage when using external dipole antenna’s (the small ones, for example the AIR-ANT2524 for a new 2600 Aironet) versus the internal (dipole) antenna’s. I am aware you have more options when using external antenna’s, such as omni, directional, outdoor etc.
For an indoor office or warehouse deployment, where temperature is not a concern, why would I buy for example the 2600E with 4 dipole antenna’s over the 2600i?I have read most Aironet datasheets and their antenna options, but can’t find a word about the advantages of external dipole antennas. I would expect external antennas would give better coverage.. is this true?
I'm planning to use these with a 2504 controller. However, I cannot find a straight answer on whether or not the External Antennas provide better coverage than the Integrated Antennas? These will be wall mounted in a combo office/warehouse environment. Also, I cannot figure out if the External Antennas are even included with the 1602E (AIR-CAP1602E-A-K9)? or what if any power adapter/ injector is included with the AP's?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just realized that my internet is slow when my antenna is on top of my computer. I have a pci card with an external antenna connecting to it. If it's on top of my computer, my internet is slow, but if I move it three feet in front of it, it's fast. This makes me think that my computer is somehow blocking or conflicting with the signal. Is this normal, or is there something I can fix in my computer? Download speeds with the antenna on top are around 0.54Mbps, and if I put it as far away as I can, I get around 20Mbps.

My question is, when i try to position this new APs on a certain map, what should i put on the Azimuth and Elevation degrees parameter? The degrees that comes in the product data sheet above, or it depends on how the antennas are installed?.

The reason we are thinking to do this we want to have a server redundancy if one of the server goes in the core site we can just turn on the server which is in the same vlan in the remote site so that we can limit the downtime .

When we came in the next day we found out that they were all on channel 1 at their lowest power level. The WLC was set for auto negotiate for power and channel but for some reason it did not work. We had successfully changed they rest of the factory with the auto feature enabled but for some reason, the warehouse did not work properly. All APs have the same IOS and are they same model. We have WiSMs mounted in a 6509 chassis as our WLC.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have 20+ VLANs on our main network, we have an offsite connected by metro GIG fiber ethernet. Right now, we have a layer 2 connection to there with the core at the main site as the gateway. We have had problems occationaly with the metro ethernet's spanning tree which then we would see our own network and cause an outage, not only for the offsite, but since the VLAN would see itself (not on our equipment but the metro ethernet carrier's) it would effect the main network as well.
What I was going to do to resolve this was change the connection to a routed network, however I need to still send some VLANs over the routed network (there are some applications that require to be on the same subnet as the server). Is there a way to Map the Vlan 10, and 11 at the main site to a vlan 10, and 11 at the remote site using a routed network? I noticed there is something about bridging, would I bridge the VLAN accross the routed MAN connection? Then would I bridge back the other way as well?
Main site has a 6506E
and offsite has a 3750E
