This option is available on the W-AP90 Series and W-AP105 access points.
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Advanced Services> All Profiles page.
2. Select the AP tab and then select the AP system profiles tab.
3. Select the AP system profile you want to modify.
4. Locate the LED operating mode parameter.
5. From the drop-down list, select off.
6. Click Apply.
Using the CLI
Use the ap system-profile command to disable LEDs for all APs using a particular system profile.
(host) (config)# ap system-profile <profile-name> led-mode {normal | off}
Use the ap-leds command to make the LEDs on a defined set of APs either blink or display in the currently
configured LED operating mode. Note that if the LED operating mode defined in the AP’s system profile is set
to “off”, then the normal parameter in the ap-leds command will disable the LEDs. If the LED operating mode
in the AP system profile is set to “normal” then the normal parameter in this command will allow the LEDs light
as usual.
(host) (config)# ap-leds {all | ap-group <ap-group> | ap-name <ap-name> | ip-addr <ip address>
| wired-mac <mac address>} {global blink|normal}|{local blink|normal}
RF Management
802.11a and 802.11g RF Management Profiles
The two 802.11a and 802.11g RF management profiles for an AP configure its 802.11a (5 Ghz) and 802.11b/g
(2.4 GHz) radio settings. You can either use the “default” version of each profile, or create a new 802.11a or
802.11g profile using the procedures below. Each RF management radio profile includes a reference to an
Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) profile. If you would like the ARM feature to dynamically select the best
channel and transmission power for the radio, verify that the RF management profile references an active and
enabled ARM profile. It can be useful to set the Max Tx EIRP parameter in the ARM profile to 127 (the
maximum power level permissible) until it determines the signal-to-noise radio on the links. If ARM is active, the
Max Tx EIRP can also be set to 127 to allow maximum power levels.
If you want to manually select a channel for each AP group, create separate 802.11a and 802.11g profiles for
each AP group and assign a different transmission channel for each profile. For example, one AP group could
have an 802.11a profile that uses channel 36 and an 802.11g profile that uses channel 11, and another AP
group could have an 802.11a profile that uses channel 40 and an 802.11g profile that uses channel 9.
With the implementation of the high-throughput 802.11n standard, 40 MHz channels were added in addition
to the existing 20 MHz channel options. Available 20 MHz and 40 MHz channels are dependent on the country
code entered in the regulatory domain profile. The newer very high-throughput (VHT) 802.11ac standard
introduces 80 Mhz channel options.
Changing the country code causes the valid channel lists to be reset to the defaults for the country.
The following channel configurations are available in ArubaOS:
l A 20 MHz channel assignment consists of a single 20 MHz channel. This channel assignment is valid for
802.11a/b/g and for 802.11n 20 MHz mode of operation.
