Radio Port Configuration
Configuring Radio Settings
Like the radio’s normal power setting, the self healing offset is configured in terms
of dBm. The default value is 0. For additional information on determining an
appropriate offset value, see the documentation shipped with the RP.
To set the default self healing offset for radios in a network that uses neighbor
recovery, 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 Self Healing Offset field, specify the self healing offset value.
4. Click the OK button.
Note Like the desired power setting, you may need to tailor the self healing offset from
radio to radio. To learn how to configure a self healing offset for a particular radio,
see “Configuring Advanced Properties for a Particular Radio” on page 3-31.
Creating a Radio Configuration for a Particular Radio
When the Wireless Edge Services zl Module is powered on, it can identify and adopt
the RPs that are connected to the network. In “Creating a Radio Adoption Default
Configuration” on page 3-8, you learned how to configure the settings that the module
deploys to RPs when first adopted.
In this section, you will learn about configuring override settings for particular
identified radios. A radio’s
Configuration screen (accessed through the Network
Setup
> Radio > Configuration screen) allows you to modify radios’ settings and
properties. (See Figure 3-10.) The Wireless Edge Services zl Module associates
these settings with the MAC address of the targeted radio and always deploys this
configuration to it, instead of the radio adoption default configuration.
Most settings are established for particular radios in much the same way as they are
established in the radio adoption default configuration. (You simply specify the
setting on a particular radio’s Configuration screen instead of on a radio type’s default
Configuration screen.)
This section will explain how to alter settings for a particular radio; however, it will
focus on settings that are configured only for particular radios, not as a part of a radio
adoption default configuration. For more detailed information on other settings, refer
to sections in “Creating a Radio Adoption Default Configuration” on page 3-8.
