Radio Port Configuration
Configuring Radio Settings
The default radio description is RADIO<index number>. For example, the
radio that has been assigned to index 1 has RADIO1 as its description. It is
often a good idea to describe a radio according to its intended coverage area
or function. To modify the description, follow these directions:
1. Select Network Setup > Radio > Configuration, select the radio that you
want to configure, and click Edit.
2. In the Radio Descr field, enter a string of text, up to 20 characters, to
describe this radio.
Dedicating a Radio as a Detector. You can dedicate a particular radio to
detecting APs in your environment. Such a radio constantly scans for neigh-
boring APs on all allowed channels, but does not support stations.
Check the Dedicate this Radio as a Detector box to enable this function.
Note If you enabled this function in the radio adoption default configurations as a
security feature, uncheck this box to enable an authorized radio to support
stations.
Click OK. The interface warns you that dedicating a radio as a detector will
disconnect associated stations. Click OK again.
The radio’s state should change to either Normal or Detector, as you have
specified. (See Figure 5-12.)
