Configuring Radio-Specific Parameters
The following parameters are specific to individual radios and are not controlled by a radio
profile:
• Channel number
• Transmit power (in decibels referred to 1 milliwatt)
• External antenna model (if applicable)
These parameters have the following defaults:
•
Channel number:
• The default channel number for 802.11b/g is 6.
• The default channel number for 802.11a is the lowest valid channel number
for the country of operation.
•
Transmit power:
Highest setting allowed for the country of operation or highest
setting supported on the hardware, whichever is lower
•
External antenna model:
internal antenna used by default.
Note:
The channel and power defaults listed above apply only when RF Auto-Tuning
is disabled. RF Auto-Tuning can automatically set and adjust the channel and power
settings on radios. By default, RF Auto-Tuning for channel assignment is enabled, and RF
Auto-Tuning for power setting is disabled.
You are not required to set any of these radio-specific parameters (except the external antenna
type, if different from the default). RF Auto-Tuning sets the channels automatically to avoid
channel interference, and the default power levels are high enough for most installations.
If you do need to set the channels or power manually, use the following commands:
set {ap port-list | dap dap-num} radio {1 | 2} channel channel-number
set {ap port-list | dap dap-num} radio {1 | 2} tx-power power-level
