I'm having trouble understanding how to set antenna orientation.
We have an outdoor mesh consisting of 1500's. When I add APs to a WCS outdoor map and attempt to set the antenna azimuth and elevation the resultant heat maps don't look right...
The antennas are mounted to a pole 65' in the air with both antennas pointed at the ground.
Any recommendations on how to set azimuth and elevation ?
TIA,

So, if I understand, the azimuth should be set to 0 degrees for an omni (this is confirmed in the release notes as well).
I'm still having trouble with the elevation; 0-180 degrees, either up or down. Can you recommend settings for an AP, 65 from the ground on a pole with the antennas pointed at the ground ?
