Controlling Which Wireless Edge Services xl Module
Adopts Particular RPs—Adoption Preference ID
Your Wireless LAN System can include multiple Wireless Edge Services xl
Modules. In this case, you might want to control which module adopts which
RPs.
Adoption preference IDs control the adoption process.
Each module should have its own adoption preference ID. Set this ID by
clicking the Global Settings button in the Network Setup > Radio > Configuration
screen. Then enter a value from 1 to 65535 in the Module Adoption Preference
ID field.

As an RP attempts to become adopted, modules defer the RP to the module
that has the same ID as the RP. (However, should no module have a matching
ID, the RP eventually becomes adopted by any module in the system.)
