Create a Radio Profile This procedure is similar to the procedure in “Create a Radio Profile” on for Voice page 56, but has additional steps to change the delivery traffic indication

map (DTIM) interval to 3.

To create a radio profile for voice service

1Select Configuration on the toolbar.

2In the Organizer panel, expand the WX switch.

3Expand Wireless, then select Radio Profiles.
