Configuring Radio Settings
■ channel selection method
■ transmit power
■ rate settings
You should configure the settings in this order; the radio placement setting dictates
available channel options, and the channel selection method affects available power
levels.

Defining the Radio Placement. You can configure a radio for indoor use or for
outdoor use. Because a radio adjusts its power and channel settings according to its
placement, it is important to configure this setting accurately. Not doing so can create
various problems, and can even cause you to break the law. For example, an outdoor
RP may need to transmit at higher power to overcome distance-based signal loss, but
an indoor RP should broadcast at a lower power to accommodate closer stations and
minimize interference with other local RPs. In addition, some countries allow certain
channels to be used only outdoors.
