Referenced Profiles
802.11a Radio
Profile
5_am
Defines AP radio settings for the 5 GHz frequency band, including the
Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) profile and the high-throughput
(802.11n) radio profile.
Select the pencil icon next to this field to edit or create additional profile
settings in the RF > 802.11a/g Radio page.
802.11g Radio
Profile
2.4_am
Defines AP radio settings for the 2.4 GHz frequency band, including the
Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) profile and the high-throughput
(802.11n) radio profile. Each 802.11a and 802.11b radio profile includes
a reference to an Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) profile.
If you would like the ARM feature to select dynamically the best channel
and transmission power for the radio, verify that the 802.11a/802.11g
radio profile references an active and enabled ARM profile. 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.
The drop-down menu displays these options:
l default
l nchannel too high
l nchannel too low
Select the pencil icon next to this field to edit or create additional profile
settings in the RF > 802.11a/g Radio page of Dell Networking W
Configuration.
RF Optimization
Profile
default
Enables or disables load balancing based on a user-defined number of
clients or degree of AP utilization on an AP. Use this profile to detect
coverage holes, radio interference and STA association failures and
configure Received signal strength indication (RSSI) metrics.
Select the pencil icon next to this field to display the Profiles > RF section
and edit these settings as desired.
Event Thresholds
Profile
default
Defines error event conditions, based on a customizable percentage of
low-speed frames, non-unicast frames, or fragmented, retry or error
frames. The drop-down menu displays these options:
l default
l all additional RF profiles currently configured in Dell Networking W
Configuration
Select the pencil icon next to this field to display the Profiles > RF >
Events Threshold section and edit these settings as desired.
Wired AP Profile default
Controls whether 802.11 frames are tunneled to the controller using
Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels, bridged into the local
Ethernet LAN (for remote APs), or a configured for combination of the two
(split-mode). This profile also configures the switching mode
characteristics for the port, and sets the port as either trusted or untrusted.
