Radio Port Configuration
Configuring Radio Settings
Configuring a Radio as a Single-Channel Detector for Unapproved
APs. A dedicated detector radio sends probes for unapproved APs on all
allowed channels in its frequency, but does not support wireless stations. To
allow an RP radio to detect some APs, while still supporting stations, enable
the radio to scan for rogue APs only on its own channel.
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 and 230 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 fre-
quencies 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.
