Configuring an ESSID
The RS4000 allows each of the interfaces to have a separate ESSID. By default, meru1-1 is specified
for radio1-1 and meru1-2 for radio1-2; meru2-1 is specified for radio2-1 and meru2-2 for radio2-2.
To change the ESSID, for example to chemestry_lab, use the following commands:
# set wif radio2-1 essid chemestry_lab
# set wif radio2-2 essid chemestry_lab

and encryption with PEAP. Procedures to configure these features are described in the following

of 2for10is, and port 1812.
# set radius primary_ip 10.0.0.30

Configuring Radio Parameters
Operating parameters for radio settings such as the channel, rate, transmit power, and short preamble
can be changed for each radio interface. The available settings are determined by the radio band

channels 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 149, 153, 157, 161, 165.
