AIR-ANT2506 ... Can it be mounted up-side-down?

Hi,
Just wondering if I'd lose any signal strength if I was to mount the AIR-ANT2506 in the up-side-down position.
The reason I want to do this is that currently we have an AIR-ANT2506 mounted to the side of an outdoor enclosure, where it sits raised above the enclosure. But I feel that the enclosure is mounted a bit too high, so I thought about mounting the antenna in the 'hanging' position from the enclosure to lower the position of the antenna.
Can the AIR-ANT2506 be mounted in this way without any consequence?

Hi David,
The 2506 can be mounted in an inverted position but you do run the risk of it filling up with water if exposed to moisture;

Hi,
I have activated EA-FIN for capturing customer retention amount. Durin creation of debit side down payment chain system asks for a sales contract number. Once the document is saved system generates the invoice with retention amount on spl GL.
This invoice is not reflected in the document flow of sales order. Let me know if this can be possible link Debit side Down Payment Chain to sales order?

Antenna mounting question - AIR-ANT2506

I was told by a wifi tech that the "pipe bomb" antenna [air-ant2506] should be installed upside down when installing inside a building, ie warehouse.
When I go to the hardware installation page for the antenna, Cisco makes no statement regarding this....they clearly show the antenna with the metal end at the bottom, not top.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/antenna/installation/guide/ant2506.html
Ultimately does it really matter which end is up if you are mounting inside? Just as long as it's vertical correct?

You are right.... as long as they are verticle you should not have any issues. The reason why they might ask you to face it downward is due to code in some area's..... code sometimes states that there will not be any objects facing upward.... just in case someone falls. So it is more of a safety aspect.

AIR-ANT2506 External Antenna Coverage Range

I've got an AIR-ANT2506 external antenna mounted on the side of a metal building. Hand-held Teklogix scanners connect to the AP and scan material outside. What kind of coverage range can I expect from the AP? Also, what's the recommended height for the AP to be mounted?

I've got an AIR-ANT2506 external antenna mounted on the side of a metal building.
Oh nuts. This is not gonna sound good.
The ANT2506 is a 2.4Ghz omni-directional antenna. If you point the antenna to your face, for instance, the signal is a near perfect circle, however, pair this with "the side of a metal building" and you've just literally turned an omni-directional antenna to a directional antenna.
Also, what's the recommended height for the AP to be mounted?
Maximum height is 10 feet. Make sure your antenna has clear line-of-sight. Any metalic or concrete obstruction can disperse the wireless signal.

AIR-ANT2506 problem

i have AIR-ANT2506 installed on ap's for outside and it seems as though i am loosing signal strentgh on them when i investigate the ant is filling up with water due to the lip that is on them. is there a model better suited for my needs.

that is probably why they collected water, antennas are designed to be installed with the cable exiting the bottom. there is no drain hole when they are mounted inverted.
when used indoors you would mount them inverted but outdoors right side up.

Cisco AIR-ANT2506 Compatibility

Hi,
I need an omni antenna with the specifications of AIR-ANT2506 for a Lighweight AP 1242 for outdoor installation. The AP is compatible with the antenna, but the description of the antenna says that it is a 2.4 GHz Bridge Antenna. Does this mean that it is not suitable or even unusable for ordinary Lighweight implementation, but only for Bridge installations. I should cover an area around the entrance of a store...
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I am trying to get internet into a number of properties on an estate. I am not sure of the best solution as we are also quite remote / rural, hence why we have a satellite internet set up and not using internet through a telephone exchange as we are too far away from it.
I am looking for the cheapest solution, and am happy to have the properties hard wired laying ethernet cable to each property, but if I can achieve internet in each property with wireless then that is probably a better solution.
I have attached a birds eye view diagram of the properties, showing where the current satellite modem is located, and where the antenna is mounted (It is about 1 metre above the roof line, but on each property the roofing is corrugated iron)
I have line of site with the antenna to at least 3 of the properties (Crag house, Sams, The Bothy and probably The Barn & maybe just about Oak)
I therefore need internet access internally in these properties. I do, as a separate project and if possible, a property 1.2miles across a loch that we have line of site with that if possible we would like internet to be broadcast across there, but the first port is to get the properties on the estate hooked up with wireless.
If you have any suggestions of what Access Points would work, they do not have to be whizzbang because we only have broadband speed currently of 512k, upscalable to 3MB.
I also do not understand how being able to run 50-100ft coax cable from the antenna to the AP works, when I was told that for every 10ft of cable, you lose about 2dBi from the antenna, is this true??
I have just attached a photo of 2 antennas on the corner of the white building (1 is the AIR-ANT2506, the other taller one is an itellite 12dBi antenna which I haven't yet tried)
You can see the white building to the left that needs to be wireless, the building in the middle of the picture, and the 2 just to the right of this building. There is a further one behind the grass you see in the middle of the picture, and a final property that isn't in the picture, but if you look at the excel spreadsheet you should be able to work out the buildings)

Can iMac Retina mount external HD in Target Disk Mode?

I'm trying to mount an ailing HD in a 24" iMac to my iMac Retina in Target Disk Mode. It will not mount. I'm using a Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter. When I plug the Thunderbolt adapter into a MacBook Air, the Target Disk HD mounts....
Is this the way it is with iMac Retina?

I'm not sure what you are trying to confirm here. If I boot from the install disk, why would I get a different driver than what I would get by installing the OS (from that same disk)? Or if it is a firmware problem then the disk doesn't matter at all.
If I boot from the install disk the sytem still doesn't recognize the G4 iBook in TDM. I don't know if this is relavent, but I have to boot the G4 iBook, connect the firewire cable, then boot the Intel iMac in TDM mode for it to mount on the iBook. Booting the iMac first, or connecting the firewire cable after the iMac has booted does not work. If I hold down the option key while booting the Intel iMac it will let me select the startup disk. If I insert the install disk it will add the install disk to the menu. If I connect a firewire cable and boot the G4 iBook in TDM it does not add the firewire disk. If I boot the iBook in TDM mode then boot the iMac from the install disk it does not see the iBook either. In all cases the Intel machine ignores the PowerPC machine.
The system profiler does not say who made the FW chip. I too am suspicious that it some kind of driver/firmware problem. I have an old firewire iPod , and I have an old firewire iSight camera, and they both work fine with the Intel iMac. There is another discusion were someone was having trouble with a firewire drive on an Intel iMac. Firewire is pretty symmetric (unlike USB which is master/slave). It is odd that one direction should work and not the other. It seem like some obscure bug that only effects block devices on the Intel side.

Cisco AIR-ANT2506

Hi everybody
I have a question about installing a wireless solution with the AIR-ANT2506 connected to the acces point 1242AG-A-K9 (LWAPP) and the goal is register the ap to the controller 2504.
This antenna is supported by the controller?
Thanks.

In general, the WLC does not care what type of antenna you use with the AP, so long as they can connect. The
AIR-ANT2506, is a RP-TNC connector which works on the 1242.
Keep in mind, that under the AP Radio config for 2.4, you'll want to specify the dBi values for the antenna, so that RRM can be calculated correctly.
HTH,
Steve

AIR-ANT2506

Hi,
I have installed an access-point 1242 and for arise signal I have installed also antenna AIR-ANT2506 instead of AIR-ANT4941.
Have to I modify some parameter on configuration ?
best regards
Lorezo

Hi Lorenzo,
You probably want to set the Left or Right Primary (I'm not on site right now so I can't see or remember) and take the setting out of Diversity;
Use the antenna configuration interface command to configure the radio receive or transmit antenna settings. Use the no form of this command to reset the receive antenna to defaults.
[no] antenna {receive | transmit} {diversity | left | right}
Syntax Description
receive
Specifies the antenna that the access uses to receive radio signals
transmit
Specifies the antenna that the access uses to transmit radio signals
diversity
Specifies the antenna with the best signal
left
Specifies the left antenna
right
Specifies the right antenna
Defaults
The default antenna configuration is diversity
Examples
This example shows how to specify the right receive antenna option:
AP(config-if)# antenna receive right
This example shows how to set the receive antenna option to defaults:
AP(config-if)# no antenna receive

I have rented a movie on apple tv and wish to finish it on my mac book air. When I open iTunes on my mac book air I can not see the movie in iTunes. It is an authorised device and I can see other purchases just. How do I fix it?

In my iPad mini if I use earphones I can hear from only one side

In my iPad mini if I use earphones I can hear from only one side but the earphones work fine with other devices

Have you tried different headphones in your iPad mini?
Check in Settings > General > Accessibility if little slider half way down isn't moved to either side towards "L" or "R".
If it isn't , try to reboot the device, but it's likely that your audio port isn't working correctly. If so, it should definitely be covered by warranty.

My wife and I both have iPhones, we just got a iPad air. Can we use iPad together or can we only set up for one?

My wife and I both have iPhones, we just got a new iPad air. Can we set it up for both of us or should we give it it's own setup separate from our phones?

It's a trust issue. You can set them up so you don't receive each other's messages as long as you each have your own email address.
The trust issue is the fact that either of you can change the separation at any time via Settings by checking the appropriate (inappropriate?) email address.
To be absolutely sure you can never receive each other's messages will require two Apple IDs.

Does anyone know how many times a newly purchased product (MB Air 2014) can be exchanged within the 14 day period?

Does anyone know how many times a newly purchased product (MB Air 2014) can be exchanged within the 14 day period? I feel like the MB Pro would be a better fit for me, so I wanted to exchange my Air for the Pro. But also, if I end up not liking the Pro and want to go back to an Air, would I be permitted to do so with another exchange? (all still within the 14 day window after purchase of course).
Also, are there any specifics I need to know in order to return my product and get a new one? Obvioulsy, I would be sure to remove all of my personal files, music, etc...but is there anything else I need to do?
And lastly, and im sure this question is irritating to you Mac wiz kids out there, but are the two models im comparing really all that different? I just cant make up my mind and would love some pointers/suggestions/tips/info to help me figure out what model is best for me (the apple employee that was helping me in the store was actually not that helpful at all, if they were I wouldnt have to ask this question on a discussion board). I do tons of multimedia things and download and enjoy music, tv shows, movies, all that stuff..and I used to love to burn dvds and cds (obviously cant do that with the MB Air now which totally bummed me out ). Which model does anyone think I should stick with? Id greatly appreciate some opinions! Really tho, help me out ppls! I'd love some helpful advice! I sometimes have problems making big/important/expensive decisions lol I just really want to make sure i am getting the best model for all of my daily tasks and all of the things i actually do regularly on my computer.
Oh, last lastly- I cant afford anything more than a 13" STANDARD MacBook Pro at the moment...soooo the Retina display is unfortunately not an option for me.
Which is also a big bummer.but i think i can get over it...or beg someone to loan me an extra $200 lol
Someone....Annnnyyyone....Pleeeeease....Heeelllllllp....
Thanks

Just play with each and figure out which one you want. I believe they only allow 1 exchange unless it is a defect issue. You can always return the exchanged item and rebuy what you want if they will not allow you to do multiple exchanges.
But again, you need to really figure out which one you want.

How can I force mount a dvd that isn't even seen by Disk Utility? I can see it on the Mac when using my Windows 7 partition via Boot Camp, but not in Lion, which is how I would rather be running.

Well if there is a EFI block, then running a program in OS X isn't going to do a lick of good.
After all EFI was designed for Trusted Computing and Digital Rights Management, to act between the OS and hardware, can read drives, contact the Internet and everything.
Windows doesn't use EFI, will have UEFI in Windows 8 though.

Over the air sync can be changed on your iPhone

iTunes says that "Your contacts are being synced with your iPhone over the air from MobileMe.
Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone".
How do I change that so I can sync my contacts with Windows Contacts? When I tried to sync with MobileMe I lost all of my contacts and I want to get them back on my iPhone.

Hi,
I did the same thing deleted my email account and recreated it, went with the same settings and same issues.
I certainly am not a Mac or iPhone expert, but I can tell you what happened to me then. I obviously had the same issue with "over air sync can be changed on your iphone" and my contacts had been wiped out. I was concerned as I had lost all my contacts off the iphone however my mobileme account had all of the contacts there. I found that all I had to do was give it some time to really sync between mobileme and the iphone contacts. I was being too impatient expecting them to appear instantly once I agreed to the sync with mobileme. I left it for a few hours and the contacts finally syncd.
Hope this helps
