Radio profiles
You can easily assign radio configuration parameters to many radios by configuring a radio profile and
assigning the profile to the radios. To use a radio, you must assign a profile to the radio. You can enable the
radio when you assign the profile.
Table 8 summarizes the parameters controlled by radio profiles. Generally, the only radio parameters
controlled by the profile that you need to modify are the SSIDs and, if applicable, Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA) settings. The other parameter settings are standard.
Note. For information about the auto-tune parameters, see Table 20 on page 395.
