Creating a Radio Adoption Default Configuration
The module stores two radio adoption default configurations, one for 802.11a
radios and one for 802.11bg radios. It deploys the configurations to radios on
any unconfigured RP that it adopts. These configurations only affect newly
adopted radios. Therefore, configuration changes do not take effect unless a
new RP is adopted, and only take effect on that new RP; RP radios adopted
before the changes continue using the settings they received either from the
former radio adoption default configuration or from a targeted configuration.
The radio adoption default configurations included in the Wireless Edge
Services xl Module's factory default settings are shown in Table 5-2.
You should establish the settings best suited for most radios in your environ-
ment. Best practice is to alter these configurations before you install the RPs.
You can then alter a particular radio's settings as necessary. (See “Creating a
Radio Configuration for a Particular Radio” on page 5-25.)
