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 9 lists the defaults for these parameters.
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 interference among the radios.
(To configure these parameters, see “Configuring radio-specific parameters” on page 317.)
