How do I request for Cisco documents to be updated?

Leo Laohoo — Thu, 21 Mar 2019 02:33:06 GMT

I understand that Cisco is a very large organization. I also understand that product documentations is one of the most difficult tasks anyone is required to do.

Two documents that are quite useful are:

Cisco Aironet Antennas and Accessories Reference Guide
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps7183/ps469/product_data_sheet09186a008008883b.html

Cisco Aironet 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Antennas and Accessories
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps7183/ps469/product_data_sheet09186a008022b11b.html

Early this year, Cisco released a number of external wireless antennae:

Cisco Aironet 5-GHz MIMO 6-dBi Patch Antenna (AIR-ANT5160NP-R)

Cisco Aironet 2.4-GHz MIMO 6-dBi Patch Antenna (AIR-ANT2460NP-R)

Unfortunately, I have unsuccessfully tried several times to request (via the feedback option) to get the documentations updated. Can you point me to the right direction? Last year when I requested for products to be update someone acted on it within weeks. Maybe there are conflicting tasks happening.

Hi Michael,

Thank you very much for your response.

Say, I have different documents that needed to be updated, what or who do I contact/email?

Hi --

You can use pfiles@cisco.com for the wireless products you referred to originally. For other products, please let us know specifically and provide whatever links you can. Different issues may need to be forwarded to different product groups.

We understand that after you and pfile exchanged email, pfile contacted the marketing person responsible for the datasheets in question so we believe your questions are being addressed. If you would like further status on those updates, it would be best to contact pfile.

If you’re asking something else, please let us know more so we can respond.

Thanks,

Mary

Hi Leo,

From speaking with Patrick (pfile), I'm glad to hear you both have a dialogue going on. I’m sure if Patrick has more specific info on what needs to be updated on the data sheet, he’ll be able to assist you. Thanks for bringing the issue to our attention again.

Regards,
Mary
