Configuring Radio Settings
You configure radio settings for the ProCurve RPs 210, 220, and 230 through
the Wireless Edge Services xl Module.
The ProCurve RP 220 and 230 each have two built-in radios; one radio sup-
ports 802.11a standards while the other supports 802.11bg standards. The
ProCurve 210 has a single radio that supports the 802.11bg standards. You can
have multiple RPs on the network; the Wireless Edge Services xl Module
manages the configurations for each type of radio on all of the RPs that it
adopts.
The Wireless Edge Services xl Module stores two types of radio
configurations:
■ radio adoption default configurations
■ specific radio configurations
Settings established in the first type of configuration are deployed to all radios
when first adopted. In other words, the two radio adoption default configura-
tions (one for each radio type) are like customized default configurations for
RPs in your network.
The second type of configurations are targeted to particular radios. You can
only create such a configuration for a radio after the Wireless Edge Services
xl Module has identified it:
■ You can alter the configuration of a radio that has been adopted and begun
using the radio adoption default configuration.
■ You can create a configuration for an RP radio that has been identified
but not adopted.
When you create a configuration for a specific radio, the configuration is
preserved even if the radio powers down.
You configure the same types of settings for adoption default and specific
radio configurations, and the Web browser screens from which you do so look
quite similar, as shown in Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3.
