240CHAPTER 10: CONFIGURING MAP ACCESS POINTS

To change the short retry threshold for service profile sp1 to 3, type the following command:

WX1200# set service-profile sp1 short-retry 3 success: change accepted.

Changing the Long Retry Threshold

The long retry threshold specifies the number of times a radio can send a long unicast frame for an SSID without receiving an acknowledgment for the frame. A long unicast frame is a frame that is equal to or longer than the RTS threshold.

To change the long retry threshold, use the following command:

set service-profile name long-retry threshold

The threshold can be a value from 1 through 15. The default is 5.

To change the long retry threshold for service profile sp1 to 8, type the following command:

WX1200# set service-profile sp1 long-retry 8 success: change accepted.

Configuring a Radio A radio profile is a set of parameters that apply to multiple radios. You Profile can easily assign configuration parameters to many radios by configuring

a profile and assigning the profile to the radios.

To configure a radio profile:

„Create a new profile.

„Change radio parameters.

„Map the radio profile to one or more service profiles.

(For a list of the parameters controlled by radio profiles and their defaults, see Table 12 on page 209.)

The channel number, transmit power, and external antenna type are unique to each radio and are not controlled by radio profiles. (To configure these parameters, see “Configuring Radio-Specific Parameters” on page 246.)

(To display radio profile information, see “Displaying Radio Profile Information” on page 260.)
