5.3.2.1 Configuring the 802.11a or 802.11b/g Radio

Configure an 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio by selecting the radio's name (as defined using the 802.11a
or 802.11b/g radio configuration screen described below) as a sub-menu item under the Radio
Configuration menu item. Use the radio configuration screen to set the radio's placement properties,
define the radio's threshold and QoS settings, set the radio's channel and antenna settings and define
beacon and DTIM intervals.
To configure the access point's 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio:
setting on the LAN page when the access point is in bridge mode. As long
as the mesh is down, the access point acts in accordance to the Mesh

Ethernet goes down and the mesh link is still up, the EPTO takes effect.

to save any changes to the Radio Configuration screen. Navigating away from
mesh network temporarily goes down. The Mesh network is
unavailable because the access point radio is reconfigured when
applying changes. This can be problematic for users making changes
within a deployed mesh network. If updating the mesh network using
a LAN connection, the access point applet loses connection and the
connection must be re-instated. If updating the mesh network using a
WAN connection, the access point applet does not lose connection,
but the mesh network is unavailable until the changes have been
applied.
