Configuring Radio-Specific Parameters - Nortel 2300 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring Radio-Specific Parameters

The following parameters are specific to individual radios and are not controlled by a radio profile:
• Channel number
• Transmit power (in decibels referred to 1 milliwatt)
• External antenna model (if applicable)
These parameters have the following defaults:
• Channel number:
●
The default channel number for 802.11b/g is 6.
●
The default channel number for 802.11a is the lowest valid channel number for the
country of operation.
• Transmit power—Highest setting allowed for the country of operation or highest setting supported on the
hardware, whichever is lower
• External antenna model—internal antenna used by default (except the AP-262, which uses ANT1060 by
default)
Configuring the Channel and Transmit Power
Note. If RF Auto-Tuning is enabled for channels or power, you cannot set the
channels or power manually using the commands in this section. See
"Configuring RF Auto-Tuning" on page
To set the channel and transmit power of a radio, use the following commands:
set {ap port-list | dap dap-num} radio {1 | 2} channel channel-number
set {ap port-list | dap dap-num} radio {1 | 2} tx-power power-level
The parameters are shown in separate commands for simplicity. However, you can use the channel and
tx-power parameters on the same command line.
Specify 1 or 2 for the radio number:
• For an MP-241, MP-341, or MP-101, specify radio 1.
• For an 802.11b/g radio on an MP-252, MP-262, or MP-352, or an 802.11b radio on an MP-122, specify
radio 1.
• For an 802.11a radio on an MP-252, MP-262, MAP-352, or MP-122, specify radio 2.
Note.
The maximum transmit power you can configure on any Nortel radio is the
highest setting allowed for the country of operation or the highest setting supported on the
hardware, whichever is lower.
