Radio Port Configuration
Configuring Radio Settings
Enter the RP’s Ethernet MAC address in the RP MAC Address field. Then
choose the appropriate radio or radios for the RP and assign them index
numbers not currently used on this Wireless Edge Services xl Module.
Click OK, and you can then select and edit the configuration for this RP’s
radios before the RP is even adopted.
■ Click the Tools button to view a pop-up menu with the following options:
• Reset—Select this option to reboot the radio. See “Resetting a Radio”
on page 3-38.
• Run ACS Now—Select this option to force radios that use ACS to select
a new channel based on the best signal to noise ratio (SNR). See
“Running ACS” on page 3-36.
• Export—Select this option to save information about the radio to a
comma separated file on your workstation. The file includes the
information in the columns at the top of the Network Setup > Radio
screen.
■ Click the LLDP button to configure a Link Layer Discovery Protocol
(LLDP) name for a radio.
LLDP is an IEEE 802.1ab Layer 2 protocol that allows a network device
(such as a radio) to advertise its identity and capabilities to neighboring
devices on the local network. These neighboring devices then store the
information in standard simple network management protocol (SNMP)
management information bases (MIBs).
