5 Specify the Alcatel AP70-specific parameters.
Internal Antenna is the default. If you select External Antenna, configure the
gain value appropriate for the location in which this AP will be deployed. (See
Tabl e 3-1 for appropriate antenna gain values.) You can connect from one to
four external antennas on the Alcatel AP70. Connecting both .a or .b/g antenna
jacks enables antenna diversity.
NOTE—If you are provisioning detachable antennas, enter the antenna gain in dBi, for example 4.0.
This is mandatory for all detachable antennas as the AP will not will bring up its radio interface or
function as an AP without it.
If you select External Antenna and do not configure the gain, the AP will
function as an Air Monitor.
Complete the IPSec (optional), Master Discovery, and IP Settings and click
Apply.
