Antenna alignment

[mikespenard]

My hardware...

Cisco 1300 12.3

Cisco Command Referance states......

#dot dot11 antenna-alignment

Use the dot11 antenna-alignment privileged EXEC command to activate the antenna-alignment tool for an radio interface. Use this tool to test and align the access point antenna with another remote antenna.

dot11 interface-number antenna-alignment [timeout]

Examples

This example shows how to start the antenna-alignment test for radio interface 0:

AP# dot11 dot11radio 0 antenna-alignment

Issue:

AP1#dot dot11 0 ?

carrier Carrier detect test

linktest test the radio link

update-group-key Update Group Key

AP1#dot11 dot11Radio 0 antenna-alignment

% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Why is the command not supported on my accesspoint?

Do i have to be in install mode?

You need to set the 1310 either at non-root bridge or workgroup bridge.

In my other posting, I explain why access point mode does not support the command.

I have my nonroot bridge in - wait for it - non root bridge mode, and when I run antenna-alignment I get the following:

NonRoot#dot11 dot11Radio 0 antenna-alignment

                           ^

% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Can you shed any light on why I cant run the command?  I am using Cisco 1200 G APs for root and nonroot.  See below screenclips:

I believe you need to have 1310.

[jhoffmann015]

the command is listed in the 1200 command reference - and when I run sh antenna-alignment, it says it hasnt been run yet.

Good morning to all. I see that this POST is 04 years old, but I want to update it. I have a median installed base of Cisco Aironet 1310 due to connectivity problems between the AP and NON-ROOT ROOT, I wanted to use the "antenna-aligment" command but it shows me the error showing.
