Huawei AR1200 Series - Configuring the WLAN Radio Environment; Establishing the Configuration Task

WLAN Configuration Roadmap
As shown in Figure 1-2, the WLAN configuration roadmap is as follows:
1. Configure radios for APs.
2. Configure service sets for APs.
3. Configure virtual APs (VAPs) and deliver VAP parameters to APs.

1.3 Configuring the WLAN Radio Environment
A WLAN system uses radio frequencies as transmission media, and wireless devices compete
for channels to transmit data. To guarantee quality of different wireless access services, configure
parameters for each radio.
1.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring the WLAN radio environment, familiarize yourself with the applicable
environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the data required for the
configuration. This can help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
A WLAN system uses radio frequencies as transmission media, and wireless devices compete
for channels to transmit data. To guarantee quality of different wireless access services, create
a Wi-Fi multimedia (WMM) profile and configure QoS parameters in the WMM profile. The
WMM profile needs to be bound to a radio profile in which radio parameters are configured.
The WMM profile is then applied to a radio together with the radio profile.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring the WLAN radio environment, complete the following tasks:
