Parameter Default Value
antenna- indoor/outdoor
location
antennatype For most AP models, the default is
internal.
auto-tune Highest setting allowed for the
max-power country of operation or highest
setting supported on the hardware,
whichever is lower
•

mode disable
radio-profile None. You must add the radios to a
radio profile.
tx-power Highest setting allowed for the
country of operation or highest
setting supported on the hardware,
whichever is lower.
Although these parameters have default values, Nortel recommends that you change the values for each radio for optimal
performance. For example, leaving the channel number on each radio set to its default value can result in high interfer-
ence among the radios.

To configure APs, perform the following tasks, in this order:
• Specify the country of operation. (See
• Configure an Auto-AP profile for automatic configuration of Distributed APs. (See
profile for automatic AP configuration" (page
• Configure AP access ports and dual homing. (See
• Configure AP-WSS security. (See
