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 RF Auto-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 RF Auto-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.

11Click Finish.

Configuring a Directly MAPs contain radios that provide networking between your wired Connected MAP 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.

Table 21 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.)
