4.7.1.1 Configuring an AP's Global Settings
Use the Global Settings
adopt non-configured radios. This can be helpful when you do not want to change an Access Port's
configuration but require the Access Port be adopted.
To edit Global Radio configuration settings:
1. Select Network
2. Click the Configuration
3. Click the Global Settings
on the switch.
4. Set an Adoption Preference ID
To define a radio as preferred, the Access Port preference ID should be same as the adoption preference
ID. The adoption preference ID is used for AP load-balancing. A switch will preferentially adopt Access
Ports having the same adoption-preference-id as the switch itself.
The Adoption Preference ID defines the switch preference ID. The value can be between 1 and 65535. To
define radios as preferred, the Access Port preference ID should be same as the adoption preference ID.
If the value is set to 0, the switch automatically changes the value to 1.
In a layer 3 environment, the Access Port adoption process is somewhat unique, for more information,

Configuring Layer 3 Access Port Adoption on page
5. To enable the automatic adoption of non-configured radios on the network, select the
unconfigured radios automatically
automatically adopted. Enable this option to allow adoption even when the Access Port is not configured.
Default radio settings are applied to Access Ports adopted automatically.
6. To limit the number of voice enabled MUs which are adopted, click the
checkbox. Limiting voice MU traffic in a supported WLAN is a good idea to maintain data rates, voice
quality and throughput. WMM admission control is a mechanism for limiting traffic on a given access
category. Per therecommendation of the 802.11e specification, Motorola limits support of this feature to
voice and video. The switch configures the AP to broadcast that admission control is mandatory.
NOTE: When using an AP-5131for use with WIPS and as a sensor you must first configure
the WIPS server IP Addresses before converting the AP-5131 to a sensor.
