Radio Port Configuration

Configuring Radio Settings

You configure radio settings for the ProCurve RPs 210, 220, and 230 through

the Wireless Edge Services xl Module.

The ProCurve RP 220 and 230 each have two built-in radios; one radio supports

802.11a standards while the other supports 802.11bg standards. The ProCurve

210 has a single radio that supports the 802.11bg standards. You can have

multiple RPs on the network; the Wireless Edge Services xl Module manages

the configurations for each type of radio on all of the RPs that it adopts.

The Wireless Edge Services xl Module stores two types of radio

configurations:

■ radio adoption default configurations

■ specific radio configurations

Settings established in the first type of configuration are deployed to all radios

when first adopted. In other words, the two radio adoption default configura-

tions (one for each radio type) are like customized default configurations for

RPs in your network.

The second type of configurations are targeted to particular radios. You can

only create such a configuration for an radio after the module has identified it:

■ You can alter the configuration of a radio that has been adopted and begun

using the radio adoption default configuration.

■ You can create a configuration for an RP radio that has been identified

but not adopted.

Once you have created a configuration for a specific radio, it is preserved even

if the radio powers down.

You configure the same types of settings for adoption default and specific

radio configurations, and the Web browser screens from which you do so look

quite similar, as shown in Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2.
