Environment
Specify the type of environment in which the AP is installed (indoor, outdoor,
or both). Choosing the environment and country influences the channels of
operation that the AP or BP operate in or use for scanning and the maximum
radio transmit power. If the country or environment is changed, the following
occur:
• The channel selection setting is reset to auto-select channel at startup. To
configure a radio on a specific channel, apply the country configuration
and then specify the channel using the Channel Configuration tab (see
“Channel Configuration” on page 68).
• The channel set configuration is set to system-determined band
configuration.
• All radios in the AP are reset.
For reference, Table 9 provides a list of world modes, including countries,
environments, bands, and valid channels.
AP Name in Beacon Confirm the AP node name advertised in beacons and probe responses. This is
the AP name that clients see when they scan for access points. The default is
the unique ID derived from the Ethernet MAC address of the AP. It is
recommended that you accept the default setting. (required, AP radio only)
Background Scanning Enable or disable background scanning. Background scanning is performed to
collect radio interference and radio neighbor information from the
surrounding RF environment. If auto-select-channel is enabled with the
Periodic option, background scanning should also be enabled. See “Channel
Configuration” on page 68.
