Configuring Radio-Specific Parameters

The following parameters are specific to individual radios and are not controlled by a radio profile:

•Channel number

•Transmit power (in decibels referred to 1 milliwatt)

•External antenna model (if applicable)

These parameters have the following defaults:

•Channel number:

●The default channel number for 802.11b/g is 6.

●The default channel number for 802.11a is the lowest valid channel number for the country of operation.

•Transmit power—Highest setting allowed for the country of operation or highest setting supported on the hardware, whichever is lower

•External antenna model—internal antenna used by default (except the AP-262, which uses ANT1060 by default)

Configuring the Channel and Transmit Power

Note. If RF Auto-Tuning is enabled for channels or power, you cannot set the channels or power manually using the commands in this section. See “Configuring RF Auto-Tuning” on page 291.

To set the channel and transmit power of a radio, use the following commands:

set {ap port-list dap dap-num}radio {1 2} channel channel-number set {ap port-list dap dap-num}radio {1 2} tx-powerpower-level

The parameters are shown in separate commands for simplicity. However, you can use the channel and tx-powerparameters on the same command line.

Specify 1 or 2 for the radio number:

•For an MP-241, MP-341, or MP-101, specify radio 1.

•For an 802.11b/g radio on an MP-252, MP-262, or MP-352, or an 802.11b radio on an MP-122, specify radio 1.

•For an 802.11a radio on an MP-252, MP-262, MAP-352, or MP-122, specify radio 2.

Note. The maximum transmit power you can configure on any Nortel radio is the highest setting allowed for the country of operation or the highest setting supported on the hardware, whichever is lower.
