Cisco Wireless :: Does WSSI 3602e Only Use Its Own Internal Antenna
May 26, 2013
Looking at the WSSI datasheet it mentions internal antenna- unlcealr if this is just with 3602i or 3602e as well.We plan to deploy 3602e in enclusures- hence the external antenna- so the WSSI would be shielded.
Does the WSSI only use it's own internal antenna or is there any option to use external?
How the full functionality of the Wireless Security and Spectrum Intelligence module is supported in autonomous mode for site survey use, or is a WSC required?
I'm wondering whether we need to invest in more survey/ spectrum analysis kit or could just use a 3602e with WSSI and the inbuilt Spectrum Expert?
1. Cisco Aironet 1040, 1140, 3500i Series Integrated Antennas Diagrams show Azimuth Plane Radiation Patterns and Elevation Plane Radiation Patterns when AP is mounted vertically on the wall (red LED above Cisco logo). So "Zero" on Azimuth Plane points to direction rectangular to AP's case plane (mounting wall plane), "Zero" on Elevation Plane points to ceiling and "180 degrees" points to floor?
2. Radio waves polarization in this case would be linear, in direction from ceiling to floor?
3. If AP would be mounted horizontally on the ceiling, then polarization would be in direction parallel to floor axis X and rectangular to floor axis Y? So induced signal on notebook integrated antenna, oriented rectangular to floor axis X, would be near zero?
I am trying to locate the radiation pattern for a 3502 with an internal antenna. We have some high ceilings so the elevation pattern could impact our placement strategy.
I 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 trying to find a configure example detailing how AP sniffer mode and SE capability can be configured on a Cisco 3600 that is equpped with a WSSI. I came across the WSSI deployment guide which does not go into the detailed that I would like to know.I'm particularly after the flow details.WLC config guide 7.4 only discusses the legacy AP sniffer and SE configuration.
We setup some new CAPWAP AP 3602E in the network and configure the DHCP server option 43 , but the WLCs still cannot detect the APs , Do you know if there any new way to troubleshooting?
I have a 3602e access point which I need to configure. It has been loaded with an autonomous image (for survey work) and my only access currently is via a browser. Is it possible to http into this access point if its only been imaged and not configured.
My QA team needs to test number of special connectivity scenarios where their wireless connection has a limited bandwidth.Ideally, I would like to provide them number of SSIDs each of which has different bandwidth limitation.But so far I did not find a way to apply any bandwidth limitations to my 2504 Wireless controller and the 3602E AP.QoS has only 4 pre-defined modes which can't be set to a specific limit.
I have a problem with a WLC 2500 and 3602E the problem is the link speed between the AP and the client is weak and the client is close to the AP the version fo the WLC es 7.4 and don´t know if it is a bug with the version because if I use a autonomous AP the speed is good
i have cisco CAP 3602e series access point to work with 5500 series controller with code 7.0i did not find VCI option 60 for this type of APs to configure DHCP. How I can let these APs will join the controller, i mean through which process DNS discovery methode and what about if i need to configure option 60 and 43 in dhcp for ap joining process to controllers.
I need to update from older Cisco 350 Aironet 802.11a/b Wireless CardBus Adapters to Cisco cb21ag Aironet 802.11a/b/g Wireless CardBus Adapters in rugged tablet pc's. I need these without the antenna cap present to utilize the tablets antenna sytem. They are pictured on the Cisco website but Cisco partners I've contacted have been unable to assist me in purchasing them.
I have a AIR-LAP1242G-A-K9. I have several question:
1. Does the antenna is a MUST for it to work. 2. If I have a 1 unit of AIR-ANT2422DG-R (antenna) , does the wireless access still work? Do I need 2 antenna 3. If I have a 1 unit of AIR-ANT2422DG-R, does 802.11 b supported.
I connected an external 12dBi omni-directional antenna for Networks 2.4 Ghz (TL-ANT2412D) with LMR-400 cable 5M but my antenna "emits" nothing, I have no signal. With the two supplied antennas with WAP200 I signal but does not cover any desired area.
We are installing 1260 Access Point (AIR-LAP1262N-E-K9) with 2 sets of external antenna:AIR-ANT2460NP-R (2.4Ghz, Patch Wall-mount, 6dBi Directional) & AIR-ANT5160NP-R (5Ghz, Patch Wall-mount, 6dBi Directional).What would be the recommended separation of the 2 antennas if they will be mounted beside each other?
I recently checked the output of one of my AP 3502AGN which are connected to a WiSM with the current 7.0.240.0 software. There I saw the following output:
show ap config 802.11b 3502AGN-1100c-1 Legacy Tx Beamforming ..................... ENABLED Antenna Type............................... INTERNAL_ANTENNA
All antennas have to be in the same direction on the AP and I guess when the old 1230 is working well the 1262 will be only better . Attached u see how I plan to mount the new AP versus the old one...
When we take a look at the internal antennas on the 1142 AP, we notice the 5ghz pointed all the same way, but for the 2.4ghz we can see each offset by 45/120 degrees. It was my understanding that all antennas are omnidirectionals on the 1142, why are those 2.4ghz antennas not all pointed the same way? onfiguration advantage and that each antenna is indeed omnicadirectional? Example, if I shut just one antenna off, do I lose a sector (120degree)?
i want to install a 3500e. I have a hole in my wireless network where this AP will be a perfect fit. I do have a wireless controller running code 6.x, so I think I will need to upgrade to 7 which is not a big deal.
The problem I have is the antenna selection. Since the AP has MIMO multiple-inputs multiple-inputs I’m perplexed on the type of antenna to choose. Since the environment is a warehouse the Omni directional would be preferred - should I also add the dipole antenna for close proximity to the AP. Also, I noticed in the getting started guide the 3500e has 6 external connection points 3 for 2.4 and 3 for 5 GHz. The antenna documentation says to use dual-band antennas, but this contradicts what is shown in the getting started guide. So what antennas should I get to make the 3500e work in a warehouse environment.
I 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. Current New Proposal __________o__o__o__o_ _________o__o__o__o__o__o | AP AP | |o | |o
The 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.)
I have a DWA-547 wireless adapter in my PC and only get 1 to 2 bars....I was thinking about getting another wireless adapter or getting wireless antennas to boost the signal if it works?

I'm going to install a Cisco Aironet 1310g (ap mode) with external antenna in a warehouse (contain many metal surfaces), and I need to install this antennas on ceiling (distance from floor to ceiling is about 13 metres). I need to get at least 1Mbps performance. AP clients are Motorola MC9190-G mobile computers.
mounting for the above antenna types. see figures below.
The figures above, are the antenna mounting correct? For figure 1, can the two antennas be separated by 4" or more? For figure 2, the two antennas will be side by side.
We have 3 3602Es connected to a 2504 WLC. I was wondering for best practices for antenna placement. They are all mounted on the side of a wall, near the ceiling (above everyone's head).
When using dipole antennas such as AIR-ANT 4941 with the 2.4 Ghz 1250 AP, must the antennas be spaced EXACTLY as far apart as the antenna connectors on the AP, or can the dipoles be spread further out, say to 4" spacing.
Currently have access points located throughout our warehouse that use the AIR ANT5160V-R antenna's from Cisco. These AP's are 25' in the air. However we have a lot of voice quality issues off of the 5Ghz band, we do no other services on this band as we keep data on the 2.4Ghz.This was all installed by a vendor but from what I am seeing on the documentation [URL] the cover is extremely poor for these antennas despite AP's everywhere. They cover side to side but aren't a well rounded AP at all.it seems like the AIR-ANT5145V-R would be better suited even though this is a warehouse.
