Radio Configuration

Settings on the AP Radio Advanced Page

The AP Radio Advanced pages contain the following settings:

•Requested Status

•Packet Forwarding

•Default Multicast Address Filters

•Maximum Multicast Packets/Second

•Radio Cell Role

•SSID For Use By Infrastructure Stations

•Disallow Infrastructure Stations on Any Other SSID

•Use Aironet Extensions

•Classify Workgroup Bridges as Network Infrastructure

•Require Use of Radio Firmware x.xx

•Ethernet Encapsulation Transform

•Quality of Service Setup Link

•Enhanced MIC verification for WEP

•Temporal Key Integrity Protocol

•Broadcast WEP Key rotation interval (sec)

•Preferred Access Points

•Radio Modulation

•Radio Preamble

•Non-Root Mobility

The AP Radio Advanced page also contains links to the VLAN Setup page, Quality of Service Setup page, and Advanced Primary SSID Setup page.

Requested Status

This setting is useful for troubleshooting problems on your network. Up, the default setting, turns the radio on for normal operation. Down turns the radio off.

The Current Status line under the setting displays the current status of the radio port. This field can also display Error, meaning the port is operating but is in an error condition.

Packet Forwarding

This setting is always set to Enabled for normal operation. For troubleshooting, you might want to set packet forwarding to Disabled, which prevents data from moving between the Ethernet and the radio.

The Forwarding State line under the setting displays the current forwarding state. For normal access point operation, the forwarding state is Forwarding. Four other states are possible:

•Unknown—The state cannot be determined.

•Disabled—Forwarding capabilities are disabled.

•Blocking—The port is blocking transmission. This is the state when no stations are associated.

•Broken—This state reports radio failure.
