Configuring Radio Settings
Note If your network includes a mix of models in the ProCurve RP 200 Series, or a mix
of external antenna types, you should also customize the antenna mode for specific
radio configurations. See “Configuring Advanced Properties for a Particular Radio”
on page 3-31.
To configure newly adopted radios to use a specific antenna mode, complete these
steps:
1. Select Network Setup > Radio Adoption Defaults and click the
Configuration tab.
2. Select the radio type and click the Edit button.
3. In the Advanced Properties section, in the Antenna Mode field, use the drop-
down menu to select Diversity, Primary, or Secondary.
4. Click the OK button.
Defining the Maximum Number of Stations. To ensure that all stations receive
enough bandwidth and transmission time, you can limit the number of stations that
can associate with a radio. Each radio can handle an absolute maximum of 64 wireless
stations, but you may set a lower maximum to help ensure better quality.
To configure the maximum number of stations that you want radios in your network
to handle, complete these steps:
1. Select Network Setup > Radio Adoption Defaults and click the
Configuration tab.
2. Select the radio type and click the Edit button.
3. In the Advanced Properties section, in the Maximum Stations field, enter the
maximum number of stations (up to 64) for radios to support.
4. Click the OK button.
Setting the Adoption Preference ID. The adoption preference ID influences
which of two or more Wireless Edge Services zl Modules in a system adopts an RP,
helping you to control RP adoption. You might alter this setting to ensure that the
same module adopts all RPs in the same area.
A Wireless Edge Services zl Module preferentially adopts RPs that have the same
ID as the module itself. (See “Configure an Adoption Preference for the Module” on
page 10-27 in Chapter 10: “Redundancy Groups” for instructions on setting this ID.)
You have several options for setting the radio adoption default adoption preference
