Configuring Radio Settings
Creating a Radio Adoption Default Configuration
The Wireless Edge Services zl Module stores two radio adoption default configura-
tions, one for 802.11a radios and one for 802.11bg radios. It deploys the configura-
tions to radios on any unconfigured RP that it adopts. These configurations only affect
newly adopted radios. Therefore, configuration changes do not take effect unless a
new RP is adopted, and they only take effect on that new RP; RP radios adopted
before the changes continue using the settings that they received either from the
former radio adoption default configuration or from a targeted configuration.
The radio adoption default configurations included in the factory default settings for
the Wireless Edge Services zl Module are shown in Table 3-2.
You should establish the settings best suited for most radios in your environment.
Best practice is to alter these configurations before you install the RPs. You can then
alter a particular radio’s settings as necessary. (See “Creating a Radio Configuration
for a Particular Radio” on page 3-24.)
