9. Set or override the following profile Radio Settings for the selected Access Point radio.
RF Mode Set the mode to either 2.4 GHz WLAN or 5 GHz WLAN support depending on
the radio’s intended client support. Set the mode to Sensor if using the radio
for rogue device detection. The radio cannot support rogue detection when one
of the radios is functioning as a WIPS sensor. To a radio as a detector, disable
Sensor support on the other Access Point radio.
Lock Radio Band Select the radio button to lock Smart RF for this radio. The default setting is
disabled.
Channel Use the drop-down menu to select the channel of operation for the radio. Only
a trained installation professional should define the radio channel.Select
Smart for the radio to scan non-overlapping channels listening for beacons
from other Access Points. After the channels are scanned, the radio selects the
channel with the fewest Access Points. In the case of multiple Access Points
on the same channel, it will select the channel with the lowest average power
level. The default value is Smart.
Transmit Power Set the transmit power of the selected Access Point radio. If using a dual or
three radio model Access Point, each radio should be configured with a unique
transmit power in respect to its intended client support function. A setting of
0 defines the radio as using Smart RF to determine its output power. 20 dBm
is the default value.
Antenna Gain Set the antenna between 0.00 - 30.00 dBm. The access point’s Power
Management Antenna Configuration File (PMACF) automatically configures
the access point’s radio transmit power based on the antenna type, its antenna
gain (provided here) and the deployed country’s regulatory domain restrictions.
Once provided, the access point calculates the power range. Antenna gain
relates the intensity of an antenna in a given direction to the intensity that
would be produced ideally by an antenna that radiates equally in all directions
(isotropically), and has no losses. Although the gain of an antenna is directly
related to its directivity, its gain is a measure that takes into account the
efficiency of the antenna as well as its directional capabilities. Motorola
Solutions recommends that only a professional installer set the antenna gain.
The default value is 0.00.
Antenna Mode Set the number of transmit and receive antennas on the Access Point. 1x1 is
used for transmissions over just the single “A” antenna, 1x3 is used for
transmissions over the “A” antenna and all three antennas for receiving. 2x2
is used for transmissions and receipts over two antennas for dual antenna
models. The default setting is dynamic based on the Access Point model
deployed and its transmit power settings.
Dynamic Chain
Selection
Select the radio button for the radio to dynamically change the number of
transmit chains. This option is enabled by default.
