WX1200# set ap 1 radio 1 antennatype ANT1060 success: change accepted.

Specifying the External Antenna Location

In some cases, the set of valid channels for a radio differs depending on whether the antenna is located indoors or outdoors. You can ensure that the proper set of channels is available on the radio by specifying the antenna’s location (indoors or outdoors). The default location is indoors.

To change an external antenna’s location, use the following command:

set {ap port-listdap dap-num}antenna-location {indoors outdoors}

Mapping the Radio To assign SSIDs to radios, you must map the service profiles for the SSIDs Profile to Service to the radio profile that is assigned to the radios.

Profiles

To map a radio profile to a service profile, use the following command:

set radio-profile name service-profile name

The following command maps service-profile wpa_clients to radio profile rp2:

WX1200# set radio-profile rp2 service-profile wpa_clients success: change accepted.

Assigning a Radio

Profile and Enabling

Radios

To assign a radio profile to radios, use the following command:

set ap apnumber radio {1 2} radio-profile name mode {enable disable}

To assign radio profile rp1 to radio 1 on ports 1-3 and 6 and enable the radios, type the following command:

WX1200# set ap 1-3,6 radio 1 radio-profile rp1 mode enable success: change accepted.

To assign radio profile rp1 to radio 2 on ports 1-4 and port 6 and enable the radios, type the following command:

WX1200# set ap 1-4,6 radio 2 radio-profile rp1 mode enable success: change accepted.
