NOTE:
It is imperative that the three certificate files are installed correctly into the Remote radio, in their
respective file types. If they are not, it will render the Remote un-authenticated for data traffic.
Consult your RADIUS network administrator if issues arise.
The radio will individually check that each certificate loaded matches the file type chosen (for example, Pri-
vate Key Certificate, Client Certificate, or Root Certificate). Once all certificates are loaded, the radio per-
forms a certificate chain verification.
If new certificates must be installed to a radio with previously installed certificates, load the root CA certif-
icate first. This will remove the private key and client certificates from the radio. Otherwise, attempting to
load a new certificate that has a different root certificate will be denied by the radio because of failing the
certificate chain validation.

2.8 Performance Verification

After the basic operation of the radio has been checked, you may wish to optimize the network's perfor-
mance using some of the following suggestions. The effectiveness of these techniques will vary with the
design of your system and the format of the data being sent.
There are two major areas for possible improvement—the radio and the data network. The following sec-
tions will provide you with a variety of items to check and on many occasions, ways to correct or improve
their performance.
