Viewing and Configuring MAPs 275
bIn the Radio Profile list, select the profile to which the radio belongs.
(For more information, see “Viewing and Configuring Radio Profiles”
on page 263.)
cIn the Channel Number list, select the channel number for the radio.
If RFAuto-Tuning for channel configuration is enabled, setting this value
has no effect. The channel number is controlled by RF Auto-Tuning.
dIn the Transmit Power box, specify the transmit power for the radio.
If RFAuto-Tuning for power configuration is enabled, setting this value
has no effect. The power level is controlled by RF Auto-Tuning.
eIf the MAP has two radios, click Next and repeat this step for the
other radio. Otherwise, go to step 11.
11 Click Finish.
Configuring a Directly
Connected MAP
MAPs contain radios that provide networking between your wired
network and IEEE 802.11 wireless users. A MAP can connect to the wired
network through a direct 10/100 Ethernet connection to a WX or
indirectly through other Layer 2 or Layer 3 wired networking devices.
Configure a MAP port for each directly connected MAP.
Table21 lists how many MAPs you can configure on a WX switch, and
how many MAPs a switch can boot. The numbers are for directly
connected and Distributed MAPs combined.
For a MAP that is indirectly connected to the WX through an
intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network, configure a Distributed MAP
instead. (See “Creating a Distributed MAP” on page 273.)
You cannot configure any gigabit Ethernet port, or port 7 or 8 on a
WX1200 switch, or port 1 on a WXR100 switch, as a MAP port. To
manage a MAP on a WX4400 switch, configure a Distributed MAP
connection on the switch. (See “Creating a Distributed MAP” on
page 273.)
