Radio-Specific Parameters

The channel number, transmit power, and external antenna parameters are unique to each radio and are not controlled by radio profiles. Table 11 lists the defaults for these parameters.

Table 11: Radio-Specific Parameters

Parameter Default Value Description

channel	•	802.11g—6
	•	802.11b—6
	•	802.11a—Lowest valid
		channel number for the country
		of operation

Number of the channel in which a radio transmits and receives traffic

tx-power	Highest setting allowed for the
	country of operation or highest
	setting supported on the hardware,
	whichever is lower.

Transmit power of a radio, in decibels referred to 1 milliwatt (dBm)

antennatype internal Nortel external antenna model

(The default for model AP-262 is ANT1060)

Note: This parameter applies only to AP models that support external antennas.

Although these parameters have default values, Nortel recommends that you change the values for each radio for optimal performance. For example, leaving the channel number on each radio set to its default value can result in high interfer- ence among the radios.

(To configure these parameters, see “Configuring Radio-Specific Parameters” on page 273.)
