before it can begin to operate as a sensor.

configuration was added or modified.
Admin Status Defines the radio as either enabled or disabled for client or sensor support.
RF Mode Displays whether each listed radio is operating in the 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n radio
band. If the radio is a dedicated sensor, it will be listed as a sensor to define the radio as
not providing typical WLAN support. If the radio is a client bridge, it will be listed as a
client bridge and does not provide typical WLAN support. The radio band is set from
within the Radio Settings tab.
Channel Lists the channel setting for the radio. Smart is the default setting. If set to smart, the
access point scans non-overlapping channels listening for beacons from other access
points. After the channels are scanned, it 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.
Transmit Power Lists the transmit power for each radio.
Overrides Click the Clear to clear overrides made to this radio interface. This field is blank if there
