Does 1230AG WAP support use of different antennas on each RP-TNC?

I have a scenario where it would be best to have one antenna be a 10dBi WALL/MAST MOUNT YAGI

AIR-ANT2410Y-R to provide coverage down rows of 50 foot high shelves in a warehouse and the other antenna be a 8.5dBi WALL MOUNT PATCH AIR-ANT3549 to provide coverage to the 50 feet of open area before you get to the rows (basically a different antenna type on each of the two RP-TNC connectors).

Hello,

Using the different antennas is not a supported configuration.

If you were to set up the AP like this, only one of the antennas would work at a time and will cause issues with the clients. I would say you could try to mount a parabolic dish up about 25-30 feet and shoot it down the aisles. And depending on the length and what type of material is on the shelves it may require the placement of additional APs.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Aaron

Looking at the specs for the dish that Cisco sells (AIR-ANT3338) it has a range of 20.1 miles at 11Mbps. At the farthest point, I'm looking at less than 500 feet.
