RF > 802.11a/g Radio page of Dell PowerConnect W Configuration.
Defines AP radio settings for the 2.4 GHz frequency band, including the Adaptive Radio
Management (ARM) profile and the high-throughput (802.11n) radio profile. Each 802.11a
and 802.11b radio profile includes a reference to an Adaptive Radio Management (ARM)
profile.
If you would like the ARM feature to select dynamically the best channel and
transmission power for the radio, verify that the 802.11a/802.11g radio profile references
an active and enabled ARM profile. If you want to manually select a channel for each AP
group, create separate 802.11a and 802.11g profiles for each AP group and assign a
2.4_am
different transmission channel for each profile.

Controls whether 802.11 frames are tunneled to the controller using Generic Routing
Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels, bridged into the local Ethernet LAN (for remote APs), or are
configured for combination of the two (split-mode). This profile also configures the
switching mode characteristics for the port, and sets the port as either trusted or
default
untrusted.
