AIR-ANT2544V4M-RS antenna model compatibility with 5520 WLC

[abinaya.2.r]

Hi,

I need to order several Cisco C9120AXE models with antenna model AIR-ANT2544V4M-RS. I am planning to make these APs join the WLC of model 5520 which is already operational in my network.

In the AIR-ANT2544V4M-RS datasheet, i see the below note,

"The Self Identifying Antenna model AIR-ANT2544V4M-RS= is supported only on Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers running an IOS-XE 17.4.1 release or a later release. This antenna model is not supported on Cisco AireOS Wireless Controllers.".

What is the difference with self identifying antenna and normal antenna ? Will the AP not work if it is registered to the 5520 WLC?

I'm guessing you'll have to manually configure the antenna configuration and gain as normal because the 5520 won't be able to detect it automatically like the 9800 would.
