With a controller-based 3802p, there are two internal 5 GHz radios. Want to know if it is possible or if others have implemented the following:
1) An internal 5 GHz radio be used for client access
a) can an administrator assign a specific 5 GHz channel?
2) Other internal 5 GHz radio be used for backhaul
a) can an administrator assign another specific 5 GHz channel (unique channel not used by client 5 GHz)?
3) What external antennas have you utilized or recommend?

I believe to implement what I have posted here, that I would have to have the AIR-CAB002-DART-R connected to the SRA connector on the 3802p. Then I could have two separate external 5 GHz antennas

My thoughts now are:
1) 3802e with internal antennas;
2) AIR-CAB003-DART-R to connect to Smart Antenna connector and, to connect 2nd antenna --> AIR-ANT5160NP-R. This 2nd antenna will be 5 GHz backhaul link.
3) Question: Since the AIR-ANT5160NP-R has 3 RP-TNC cables and the AIR-CAB002-DART-R has 4 RP-TNC connectors:
a) is there an available plug to connect/cover the unused connector on the AIR-CAB002-DART-R?
b) does an uncovered connector on the AIR-CAB002-DART-R introduce unwanted RF energy or provide a path for unwanted RF energy?
