6Do one of the following:

■Select OK to register the settings.

Or:

■Select Save to write changes to nonvolatile memory (NVM), which generates a confirmation prompt.

7Select Save ALL APs [F2] to save the RF Configuration information to all APs with the same WLAN Service Area.

This option saves the configuration changes for the current AP, and sends two WNMP messages to all other APs on the Known APs table to update their configurations and reset them after the configuration has been modified. You can execute this option only among the same hardware platforms and same firmware versions.

8Select Cancel [ESC] to cancel any changes you made to this screen and return to the previous menu.

Radio Parameters The AP automatically configures most radio parameters. Exercise extreme caution when adjusting radio parameters for the AP since these parameters affect system operations. Options in the RF Configuration window fine-tune the radio and WLAP functions. To configure the radio parameters, follow the procedure below.

1Select Set RF Configuration from the Main Menu to display the RF Configuration window.
