• Radio Frequency Band - Select either the 2.4GHz or 5.0GHz radio band to use with the
radio when selected as a Data Radio. The selected band is used for WLAN client
support. Considers selecting one radio for 2.4GHz and another for 5GHz support (if
using a dual or three radio model) when supporting clients in both the 802.11bg and
802.11n bands.
• Power Level - Use the spinner control to select a 1 - 23 dBm minimum power level to
assign to this radio in selected 2.4 or 5.0 GHz band. 1 dBm is the default setting.
• Channel Mode - Select either Random, Best or Static. Select Random for use with a
802.11a/n radio. To comply with Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements in
the European Union, the 802.11a/n radio uses a randomly selected channel each time
the access point is powered on.
Select Best to enable the access point to scan non-overlapping channels and listen
for beacons from other access points. After the channels are scanned, it will select
the channel with the fewest access points. In the case of multiple access points on
the same channel, it will select the channel with the lowest average power level.
When Constantly Monitor is selected, the access point will continuously scan the
network for excessive noise and sources of interference. Select Static to assign the
access point a permanent channel and scan for noise and interference only when
initialized.
• Configure as a Sensor Radio - Select this option to dedicate the radio to sensor support
exclusively. When functioning as a sensor, the radio scans in sensor mode across all
channels within the 2.4 and 5.0GHz bands to identify potential threats within the access
point managed network. If dedicating a radio as a sensor resource, a primary and
secondary ADSP server must be specified as an ADSP management resource.
NOTE
If configuring an AP6532 model access point as a sensor, the access point
will require a reboot before its sensor functionality is invoked. The reboot
can take place at the completion of the Initial AP Setup Wizard.
• Disable the Radio - Select this option to disable this radio, thus prohibiting it from either
providing WLAN or sensor support. Verify this course action with your network
administrator before rendering the radio offline.
18. Select Next. The Initial AP Setup Wizard displays the Wireless LAN Setting screen to
define network address and security settings for two WLAN configurations available to the
access point as part of the Initial AP Setup Wizard. Once the access point has an initial
configuration defined, numerous additional WLAN configurations can be set.
