Setting the Radio Mode and Channel

The access point's radio channel settings are limited by local regulations,
which determine the number of channels that are available. You can manually
set the access point's radio channel or allow it to automatically select an
unoccupied channel.
Radio 1 operates in 802.11b/g mode, but Radio 2 operates in either 802.11b/
■
g or 802.11a modes. If radio 2 is to be configured in 802.11b or 802.11g
mode, it must be connected to an external antenna to ensure adequate
separation between the two radios operating in the same frequency. See
"Radio Configuration Summary Table" on page 6-6.
■ If using the worldwide product, before configuring radio settings on the
access point, you must first use the CLI to set the Country Code so that
the radio channels used conform to your local regulations. It is your
responsibility to select a correct country setting, otherwise radio opera-
tion may fail to comply with legal requirements for use of the access point
in your country. See
Adjacent access points operating in the same band should be configured to
use non-overlapping channels. See
