Parameter Description
Protection for
802.11b Clients
(For 802.11g RF Management Profiles only) Enable or disable protection for
802.11b clients. This parameter is enabled by default. Disabling this feature may
improve performance if there are no 802.11b clients on the WLAN.
WARNING: Disabling protection violates the 802.11 standard and may cause
interoperability issues. If this feature is disabled on a WLAN with 802.11b clients, the
802.11b clients will not detect an 802.11g client talking and can potentially transmit at
the same time, thus garbling both frames.
Associated Profiles
ARM profile Alcatel-Lucent's proprietary Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology
maximizes WLAN performance by dynamically and intelligently choosing the best
802.11 channel and transmit power for each Alcatel-Lucent AP in its current RF
environment.
Every RF management profile references an ARM profile. If you specify an active and
enabled ARM profile, you do not need to manually configure the Channel and
Transmit Power parameters for this 802.11a or 802.11g profile. For details on
referencing an ARM profile, see Assigning an ARM Profile on page 566.
The Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) profile associated with this 802.11a or
802.11g radio profile appears beneath the 802.11a/802.11g radio profile name in the
profiles list. To change the ARM profile associated with an 802.11a or 802.11g radio
profile, select the associated ARM profile in the profiles list then click the drop-down
list in the Profile Details section of the page to select a new profile.
High-throughput
radio profile
A high-throughput profile manages 40 MHz tolerance settings, and controls whether
or not APs using this profile will advertise intolerance of 40 MHz operation. (This
option is disabled by default, allowing 40 MHz operation.)
A high-throughput profile also determines whether an AP radio using the profile will
stop using the 40 MHz channels surrounding APs or stations advertise 40 MHz
intolerance. This option is enabled by default. For details on referencing a high-
throughput radio profile, see Assigning a High-throughput Profile on page 566.
The high-throughput radio profile associated with this 802.11a or 802.11g radio
profile appears beneath the 802.11a/802.11g radio profile name in the profiles list. To
change the high-throughput radio profile associated with an 802.11a or 802.11g radio
profile, select the associated high-throughput radio profile in the profiles list then click
the drop-down list in the Profile Details section of the page to select a new profile.
Spectrum
Monitoring Profile
The spectrum monitoring profile defines the spectrum band and device ageout times
used by a spectrum monitor radio.
The spectrum monitoring profile associated with this 802.11a or 802.11g radio profile
appears beneath the 802.11a/802.11g radio profile name in the profiles list. To
change the spectrum monitoring profile associated with an 802.11a or 802.11g radio
profile, select the associated spectrum monitoring profile in the profiles list then click
the drop-down list in the Profile Details section of the page to select a new profile.
AM Scanning Profile The AM scanning profile associated with this 802.11a or 802.11g radio profile
appears beneath the 802.11a/802.11g radio profile name in the profiles list. To
change the AM scanning profile associated with an 802.11a or 802.11g radio profile,
select the associated AM scanning profile in the profiles list then click the drop-down
list in the Profile Details section of the page to select a new profile.
Assigning an 802.11a/802.11g Profile to an AP or AP Group
Use the following procedure to assign an 802.11a or 802.11g RF management profile to an AP Group or
individual AP using the WebUI.
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Configuration window. Select either the AP Group or AP
Specific tab.
n If you selected AP Group, click the Edit button by the AP group name to which you want to assign a new
802.11a or 802.11g RF management profile.
