(To configure a radio profile, see “Configuring a radio profile” on page 312.)

Auto-RF

The Auto-RF feature dynamically assigns channel and power settings to AP radios, and adjusts those settings when
needed. Auto-RF can perform the following tasks:
Assign initial channel and power settings when an AP radio is started.
Periodically assess the RF environment and change the channel or power setting if needed.
Change the transmit data rate or power to maintain at least the minimum data rate with all associated clients.
By default, Auto-RF is enabled for channel configuration but disabled for power configuration.
(For more information, see “Configuring Auto-RF” on page 391.)

Default radio profile

WSS Software contains one default radio profile, named default. To apply common parameters to radios, you can
modify the default profile or create a new one. When you create a new profile, the radio parameters in the profile are set
to their factory default values.
preamble-length short Advertises support for short 802.11b
preambles, accepts either short or long
802.11b preambles, and generates unicast
frames with the preamble length specified
by the client.

Note: This parameter applies only

to 802.11b/g radios.

qos-mode wmm Classifies and marks traffic based on
802.1p and DSCP, and optimizes
forwarding prioritization of AP radios for
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM).
rfid-mode disable Radio does not function as a location
receiver in an AeroScout Visibility
System.
rts-threshold 2346 Transmits frames longer than 2346 bytes
by means of the Request-to-Send/
Clear-to-Send (RTS/CTS) method.
service-profile No service
profiles defined You must configure a service profile. The
service profile sets the SSID name and
other parameters.
wmm-powersave disable Requires clients to send a separate PSpoll
to retrieve each unicast packet buffered by
the AP radio.
