Selecting an Antenna
There are three ways to select an AP60 antenna:
1. From the AP console (serial or telnet) enter set_antenna 0|1|2 where 0
specifies auto mode, and 1 or 2 chooses a specific antenna. The antenna
selection is not persistent and the AP will loose the antenna selection, if
rebooted.
2. From the AP boot prompt (apboot>) enter a_antenna 0|1|2 or g_antenna 0|1|2
to specify an antenna. Enter a save command before booting the AP to save
the antenna configuration in the AP’s Flash memory, along with other
provisioning parameters.
3. For releases 2.3 and higher, you can provision the antenna selection from the
Mobility Controller.
Maintenance
The AP60 and AP61 require no maintenance beyond keeping the AP clean and
dust free. To clean the Aruba AP 60/61, use a static-free, dry cloth.
Aruba recommends that these units be inspected annually for damage, dust
buildup, and to verify that all connections are secure.
