3 To select the radio type for a single-radio model, click the MAP Radio Type
box and select the radio type from the list:
11a — 802.11a
11b — 802.11b only
11g — 802.11b/g
4 In the Name box, type a name (1 to 16 alphanumeric characters, with no
spaces or tabs).
5 In the Serial Number box, type the serial ID of the MAP.
The serial ID of the AP2750 might be preceded by 4 digits and a slash
(example: 0100/). Do not enter these digits or the slash.
6 If you are configuring dual-homing support, in the Bias list, select High or
Low.
Bias is the priority of one WX connection over other WX connections to a
single MAP for booting, configuration, and data transfer. You can set a
Distributed MAP's bias to be low or high. A configuration with a high bias
has priority over a configuration for the same MAP with low bias. The
default is High.
If the bias for all connections is the same, the MAP selects the WX switch
that has the greatest capacity to add more active MAPs. For example, if a
MAP is dual homed to two WX4400 switches, and one of the WX
switches has 50 active MAPs while the other WX switch has 60 active
MAPs, the new MAP selects the WX switch that has only 50 active MAPs.
Bias applies only to WX switches that are indirectly attached to the MAP
through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. A MAP always
attempts to boot on MAP port 1 first, and if the MAP is directly attached
to a WX switch on MAP port 1, it boots from that WX switch regardless
of the bias settings.
7 In the Enable Blink list, select Yes to enable LED blink mode or No to
disable it.
Blink mode enables you to visually identify a MAP. When blink mode is
enabled on an AP2750, the 11a LED blinks on and off. When blink mode
is enabled on other models (MP-xxx), the health and radio LEDs
alternately blink green and amber. By default, blink mode is disabled.
8 In the Enable Firmware Update list, select Yes to automatically upgrade
MAP boot firmware. The upgrade version of the firmware is loaded from
a WX when the MAP is booting.
