To set the access point radio configuration (this example is for a dual-radio Access Point):
1 Select Network Configuration > Wireless > Radio Configuration from the access point menu tree.
Review the Radio Function to assess if this radio is currently functioning as a WLAN radio or has
been dedicated as a sensor.
Refer to RF Band of Operation parameter to ensure you are enabling the correct 802.11a/n or 802.11b/
g/n radio. After the settings are applied within this Radio Configuration screen, the Radio Status and
MUs connected values update. If this is an existing radio within a mesh network, these values update
in real-time.
NOTE
This section describes mesh networking (setting the radio's base and client bridge configuration) at a
high level. For a detailed overview on the theory of mesh networking, see
page 577. For detailed information on the implications of setting the mesh configuration, see

Refer to the Sensor-only mode parameter to discern whether this Access Point radio has been set to
function as WLAN radio (normal operation) or as a dedicated sensor (no WLAN support available).
The Access Point is set as a sensor radio using either the Access Point's Quick Setup screen or using a
CLI command. Sensor mode support is disabled by default. For more information on using the
Quick Setup screen to define the radio mode, see
2 Set the Maximum MUs between 0–127.
The maximum number of MUs that can associate to a single AP is 127. Therefore, the possible
number of MUs that can associate to each radio is between 0 and 127.
