Using the Command Line Interface
Example
antenna control
This command selects the use of two diversity antennas or a single antenna for
the radio interface.
Syntax
antenna control < diversity | left | right >
• diversity - The radio uses both antennas in a diversity system. Select this
method when the Antenna ID is set to “Default Antenna” to use the
access point's integrated antennas. The access point does not support
external diversity antennas.
• left - The radio only uses the antenna on the left side (the side farthest
from the access point LEDs). The access point does not support an external
antenna connection on its left antenna. Therefore, this method is not valid
for the access point.
• right - The radio only uses the antenna on the right side (the side closest
to the access point LEDs). Select this method when using an optional
external antenna that is connected to the right antenna connector.
