Glossary of common antenna terminology
The following glossary includes basic antenna terminology that can help in the selection and/or recommendation of a
particular antenna. These terms are used throughout the remainder of the document:
Omnidirectional (Omni) – Refers to the antenna coverage pattern. An omnidirectional antenna creates a uniform
coverage pattern. Most omnidirectional antennas are weakest directly above and directly below their endpoints – this
characteristic creates the familiar dual-lobe pattern shown on the E-plane graphs. Nulls are typically related to the orien-
tation of the dipole/monopole antenna relative to the horizontal or vertical planes. The lobes grow and shrink depending
upon the ground plane effects and cancellation/addition of the radiating signal. Omnidirectional antennas are suitable for
most general deployments.
Directional – Refers to the antenna coverage pattern. A directional antenna focuses its lobe or radiated energy in a
particular direction. In general, as the gain of a directional antenna increases, the radiating beamwidth or lobe decreases.
This design increases the transmitted power and communication distance in a specific direction at the expense of
uniform coverage, as compared to an omnidirectional antenna. A directional antenna must be “aimed” at the intended
coverage zone.
Gain – Expressed in dBi, indicates the relative increase in radiated power over an isotropic point radiating source with a
reference gain of 1.0.
Each 3 dB increment in power effectively doubles the radiated energy. For example, an antenna with a gain of 9 dBi
increases the transmit power 8 times more than an isotropic point radiating source. For example:
12.5 mW = 11 dBm
11 dBm + 9dBi = 20 dBm
20 dBm = 100 mW
100mw/12.5 mW = 8 times more power
E-Plane graph – The elevation plane graph shows the radiated antenna coverage pattern as a vertical cross section - as if
looking directly at the antenna from the side.
H-Plane graph – The horizontal plane graph shows the radiated antenna coverage pattern as a horizontal cross section -
as if looking directly at the antenna from above.

AP troubleshooting
After you insert the Cat-5 cable into an AP’s port connector and enable PoE on the cable, observe the device’s health or
LINK LED to determine the status of the connection with the WSS.
• If the LED is green and is glowing steadily, the AP was booted successfully by the WSS and is ready for operation.
• If the LED is not steadily glowing green, see Table 5.
(For descriptions of all the LEDs, see “Status LEDs” on page 28.)
Table 5: Health LED States (2332 Series)
Health or LINK
LED Appearance Diagnosis Remedy
Not solid green AP radio needs to be enabled. Enable at least one of the radios. If the LED is still
not solid green, try the remedy listed in this table
based on the LED’s appearance.
Unlit AP is not receiving power. Check the Cat-5 cable connection(s).
For a direct connection to a WSS:
• Set the port type on the WSS to an AP port.
• Verify that Power over Ethernet (PoE) is enabled
on the WSS port connected to the AP.
For an indirect connection through the network:
• Configure a AP connection on a WSS.
• Verify that a Nortel-approved PoE source is
supplying power to the AP.
Slowly alternating green
and amber
AP is booting with an image
received from a WSS.
Wait a few seconds for the boot process to complete.
If this LED appearance persists, enable a radio or
place a radio in sentry mode.
Solid amber AP is waiting to receive boot
instructions and a configuration file
from a WSS.
Wait a few seconds for the boot process to begin.
If the LED remains amber, try the remedies for the
other health LED appearances.
If the LED still remains amber, make sure the AP is
securely connected to its PoE source and to the
network or WSS.

AP technical specifications
This appendix lists the technical specifications for the Nortel 2332 Series access points. Table 6 lists the mechanical and
compliance specifications. Table 7 on page 110, Table 8 on page 111, and Table 9 on page 111 list the radio specifica-
tions. Table 10 on page 112 lists the MAC address allocation scheme.
(For specifications for the WSS, see the Nortel WLAN-Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide.)
Note. The 2332 Series access points are designed and approved to be used only with
Nortel WLAN—Security Switch (WSS) models 2360/2361, and 2350. (The 2380 and 2382
does not directly connect to the AP.)
Note. The AP radios are disabled by default and can be enabled only by the system
administrator using the WLAN Management softwareapplication or the WSS’s
command-line interface (CLI).
Note. The radio frequency band, operating channels, and transmit power depend on the
country of operation specified by the system administrator using WLAN Management
software or the WSS’s CLI.

MAC addresses
Each 2332 Series is assigned a unique block of 64 MAC addresses. Each radio has 32 MAC addresses and can therefore
support up to 32 SSIDs, with one MAC address assigned to each SSID as its BSSID.
An AP’s MAC address block is listed on a label on the back of the AP. If the AP is already deployed and running on the
