9 Click Apply to save any changes to the Radio Configuration screen. Navigating away from the screen
without clicking Apply results in all changes to the screens being lost.
CAUTION
When defining a Mesh configuration and changes are saved, the mesh network temporarily goes down.
The Mesh network is unavailable because the access point radio is reconfigured when applying changes. This
can be problematic for users making changes within a deployed mesh network. If updating the mesh network
using a LAN connection, the access point applet loses connection and the connection must be re-instated. If
updating the mesh network using a WAN connection, the access point applet does not lose connection, but the
mesh network is unavailable until the changes have been applied.
10 Click Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes reverts the settings
displayed on the Radio Configuration screen to the last saved configuration.
11 Click Logout to securely exit the Access Point applet. A prompt displays confirming the logout before
the applet is closed.
Once the target radio has been enabled from the Radio Configuration screen, configure the radio’s
properties by selecting it from the Altitude 35xx menu tree.
For more information, see “Configuring the 802.11a or 802.11b/g Radio” on page 154 .
Configuring the 802.11a or 802.11b/g Radio
Configure an 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio by selecting the radio’s name (as defined using the 802.11a or
802.11b/g radio configuration screen described below) as a sub-menu item under the Radio
Configuration menu item. Use the radio configuration screen to set the radio’s placement properties,
define the radio’s threshold and QoS settings, set the radio’s channel and antenna settings and define
beacon and DTIM intervals.
