Referenced Profiles
802.11a Radio
Profile
5_am Defines AP radio settings for the 5 GHz frequency band, including the Adaptive Radio Management
(ARM) profile and the high-throughput (802.11n) radio profile.

802.11a/g Radio page of Aruba Configuration. Click Save on this page to return to the Add AP
Group page.
802.11g Radio
Profile
2.4_am Defines AP radio settings for the 2.4 GHz frequency band, including the Adaptive Radio
Management (ARM) profile and the high-throughput (802.11n) radio profile. Each 802.11a and
802.11b radio profile includes a reference to an Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) profile.
If you would like the ARM feature to select dynamically the best channel and transmission power for
the radio, verify that the 802.11a/802.11g radio profile references an active and enabled ARM
profile. If you want to manually select a channel for each AP group, create separate 802.11a and
802.11g profiles for each AP group and assign a different transmission channel for each profile.
The drop-down menu displays these options:
z default
z nchannel too high
