MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide v6.4.0

Radio configuration parameters

This section provides definitions for all configuration parameters that are present on all products.

Regulatory domain

Indicates the geographical region in which the AP is operating. To set the regulatory domain, see

“Assigning country settings to a group” (page 170).

Operating mode

Select the operating mode for the radio. Available options are:

• Access point and Local mesh: Standard operating mode provides support for all wireless

functions. (Not supported on radio 3 on the MSM335.) The total available bandwidth on the

radio is shared between all local mesh links and wireless users. This can result in reduced

throughput if lots of traffic is being sent by both wireless users and the local mesh links. You

can use the QoS feature to prioritize traffic.

• Access point only: Only provides AP functionality, local mesh links cannot be created. (Not

supported on radio 3 on the MSM335.)

• Local mesh only: Only provides local mesh functionality. Wireless client stations cannot connect.

• Monitor: Disables AP and local mesh functions. Use this option for continuous scanning across

all channels in all wireless modes. See the results of the scans by selecting Controlled APs >>

Security > Neighborhood.

• Sensor: Enables RF sensor functionality on the radio. HP APs are smart APs, and do not forward

broadcast packets when no client stations are connected. Therefore, the RF sensor function

will not be able to detect these APs unless they have at least one connected wireless client

station. This feature requires that the appropriate license is installed on the AP. See “Managing

licenses” (page 541).

The following table shows the operating modes supported for each product.
