Figure 91 - Second BS radio configuration

Press the «Apply» button at the bottom of the page, in order to save the settings
performed in the Link Settings menu.

We have now two base stations (nodes 1 and 3) configured and one CPE (node 2)
with two radio profiles configured: profile 1 has the radio parameters of the BS1 and
profile 2 has the radio parameters of the BS2.

We can see now that the CPE can establish a wireless link with any of the two base
stations, depending on the link quality.
