Initially, all WLANs are disabled. After configuring a WLAN in the Module, it

must then be enabled.

WLAN Configuration Modes. The Module has two modes for configuring

the assignment of radio resources to WLANs:

1. Normal Mode - This is the factory default mode. In this mode, the assign-

ment of WLANs to radio port radios is done automatically. Only WLAN1

to WLAN16 can be used. All enabled WLANs are available at all radios.

2. Advanced Configuration Mode. - In this mode, the administrator assigns

WLANs to radios manually. The administrator enables a WLAN and

assigns it to a radio. A WLAN assigned to a radio cannot be disabled until

the assignment is removed.
