3. To edit an existing 802.11a or 802.11g radio profile, select the desired profile from the 802.11a radio
profile or 802.11g radio profile drop-down list at the top of the Profile Details window. To create a new
802.11a or 802.11g profile, click the drop-down list at the top of the Profile Details window, select NEW,
then enter a name for the new profile.
The 802.11a and 802.11g profiles are divided into two tabs, Basic and Advanced. The Basic tab displays
only those configuration settings that often need to be adjusted to suit a specific network. The Advanced
tab shows all configuration settings, including settings that do not need frequent adjustment or should be
kept at their default values. If you change a setting on one tab then click and display the other tab without
saving your configuration, that setting will revert to its previous value. The basic and advanced profile
settings are described in Table 128.
4. Make the desired configuration changes, then click Apply to save your settings.

(256-QAM)
Enable/Disable Very High Throughput (VHT)rate on 2.4 GHz band providing 256-QAM
modulation and encoding that allows for 600 Mbit/sec performance over 802.11n
networks. For more information, see VHT Support on OAW-AP200 Series, OAW-AP210
Series, OAW-AP220 Series, and OAW-AP270 Series Access Points.
NOTE: This parameter is only available in the 802.11g radio profile.
Channel Transmit channel for this radio. The available channels depend on the regulatory
domain (country). This parameter includes the following channel number
configuration options for 20 MHz, 40 MHz and 80 MHz modes:
n 20: Select this option to disable 40 MHz mode and 80 Mhz mode and activate 20
MHz mode for the entered channel.
n 40: Entering a channel number and selecting the 40 radio button in the WebUI
selects a primary and secondary channel for 40 MHz mode. When you use this
option, the number entered becomes the primary channel and the secondary
channel is determined by increasing the primary channel number by 4. For
example, if you entered 157 into the Channel field and selected the above option,
radios using that profile would select 157 as the primary channel and 161 as the
secondary channel.
n 80; Entering a channel number and selecting the 80 Mhz radio button selects a
primary and secondary channel for 80 MHz mode.
If you select the spectrum monitoring checkbox on this profile page, the AP will
operate as a hybrid AP and scan the selected channel for spectrum analysis data.
