8 In the Name box, type a name (1 to 16 alphanumeric characters, with no
spaces or tabs).
9 In the Serial Number box, type the serial number of the MAP.
10 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.
11 In the Enable Blink list, select Yes to enable LED blink mode or No to
disable it.
When blink mode is enabled, the health and radio LEDs alternately blink
green and amber, allowing you to visually identify a MAP. By default, blink
mode is disabled.
12 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.
Select No to disable automatic firmware upgrading. Automatic firmware
upgrading is enabled by default.
13 Do one of the following:
To modify radio settings for the MAP, see "To modify radio settings"
on page 280.
To modify connection settings for the MAP, see "To modify a MAP
connection" on page 283.
To save changes and close the wizard, click Finish.
