Radio Port Configuration
Configuring Radio Settings
To configure a single-channel scan, complete these steps:
1. Select Network Setup > Radio > Configuration.
2. Select the radio that you want to configure and click the Edit button.
3. Check the Single-channel scan for Unapproved APs box.
4. Click the OK button.
Base Radio MAC. The MAC address displayed in the Properties section is the
hardware MAC address for that radio. A dual-radio RP has two separate radio MAC
addresses (as well as an Ethernet MAC address).
A BSSID, which is the MAC address that the radio uses to carry traffic for a particular
WLAN (or WLANs), is generated from this base MAC address. Each RP radio
includes four BSSIDs, each of which can carry traffic for four WLANs.
Radio Type. The Radio Type listed in the Properties section describes the 802.11
standard with which this radio complies.
The ProCurve 220 and230 RPs each support two radios: an 802.11a and an 802.11bg
radio. Make sure that you are configuring the correct radio on a dual-radio RP.
The 802.11 standard for a particular radio also determines the channel frequencies
and power options available in this screen.
Index Type.
The Index Type value in the Properties section describes whether a radio
was pre-configured before the Wireless Edge Services zl Module adopted it. If a radio
was adopted with the default configuration, the index type is displayed as Dynamic. If
you created a configuration for the radio before allowing the module to adopt it, the
index type is Static. Refer to the
Index Type value to verify that a particular radio is
using the correct configuration.
Configuring Radio Settings for a Particular Radio
The Radio Settings section on a particular radio’s Configuration screen includes the
same options as the corresponding section in a radio type’s default Configuration
screen.
However, the section also includes an Actual column to the right of the settings that
displays the channel and power level that the radio is actually using. You can view
this column to verify that the radio is using appropriate settings and to determine
whether you must make any configuration changes or corrections.
