Question : Problem: How does one configure Cisco Aironet to use secondary antenna - both with transmit and receive?

I need to extend the range of a Cisco Aironet 1230 wireless AP. I have an omni-directional antenna placed almost 100' from my AP and am running a cable over there to connect the antenna to the secondary antenna port on the AP.

What configuration changes do I need to make to the device to utilize both antennas and transmit and receive from both?

Below is the current configuration of the device - Radio0 is active --- how to I activate Radio1?

Use the antanna diversity or no antenna command:
