1. The row for each IAP summarizes its settings. Click to expand it and
display the settings. Click again to collapse the entry.
2. In the Enable field select enabled, or select disabled if you want to turn
off the IAP. The state of the channel is displayed with a green dot if
enabled, and a red dot if disabled.
3. In the Band field, select the wireless band for this IAP from the choices
available in the pull-down menu, either 2.4GHz or 5 GHz. Choosing the
5GHz band will automatically select an adjacent channel for bonding. If
the band displayed is auto, the Band is about to be changed based on a
new Channel selection that you made that requires the change.
For XR-520 Series APs only:
—iap1 may be set to either band or to monitor (also see the Timeshare
option in “RF Monitor” on page 358).
—iap2 is permanently set to 5 GHz.
