4.8.1.1 Editing Default Access Port Adoption Settings
Use the Edit screen to dedicate a target radio as a detector radio, as well as change the radios settings (placement, power,
and channel) and advanced properties (antenna setting, maximum associations, adoption preference, etc.).
To edit radio adoption configuration settings:
1. Select Network Setup > Access Port Adoption Defaults from the main menu tree.
2. Click the Configuration tab.
3. Select a radio from the table.
Channel Displays the default channel when an radio auto-adopts and takes on the default settings.
This value can be a specific channel, Random, or ACS. Random assigns each radio a random
channel. ACS (Automatic Channel Selection) allows the switch to systematically assign the
channel. Default is random.
Power dBm Displays the default power when a radio auto-adopts and takes on the default settings.
Defaults are 20 dBM for 802.11bg) and 17 dBm for 802.11a.
Power mW Displays the default transmit power in mW (derived from the Power dBm setting). Defaults
are 100 mW for 802.11bg and 50 mW for 802.11a.
NOTE: Up to 256 Access Ports are supported by the RFS6000 and RFS7000 switches. Up
to 6 Access Ports and 24 Adaptive APs are supported by the RFS4000 switch. The actual
number of Access Ports adoptable by a switch is defined based on access port or Adaptive
AP licenses and on a per platform basis and will typically be lower than 256.
CAUTION: An Access Port is required to have a DHCP provided IP address before
attempting layer 3 adoption, otherwise it will not work. Additionally, the Access Port must
be able to find the IP addresses of the switches on the network.
To locate switch IP addresses on the network:
• Configure DHCP option 189 to specify each switch IP address.
• Configure a DNS Server to resolve an existing name into the IP of the switch. The Access
Port has to get DNS server information as part of its DHCP information. The default DNS
name requested by an AP300 is “Symbol-CAPWAP-Address”. Similarly, The default DNS
name requested by an AP650 is “WISPE_ADDRESS”. However, since the default name is
configurable, it can be set as a factory default to whatever value is needed.
