History
Usage
A Mesh Portal MP can be configured to emit link calibration packets to assist with
positioning the Mesh AP. A link calibration packet is an unencrypted 802.11 management packet
of type Action. When enabled on an MP, link calibration packets are sent at a rate of 5 per second.
The MP-620 is equipped with a connector to which an external RSSI meter can be attached during
installation. When an RSSI meter is attached to an MP-620 and a calibration packet is received,
the MP-620 emits a voltage to the RSSI meter proportional to the received signal strength of the
packet. This can aid in positioning the MP-620 where it has a strong signal to the Mesh Portal AP.
Only one radio on an MP can be configured to send link calibration packets. Link calibration
packets are intended to be used only during installation of MPs; they are not intended to be
enabled on a continual basis.
Examples
The following command enables link calibration packets for MP radio 1 on MP 7:
MX# set ap 7 radio 1 link-calibration mode enable

History
Usage
By default, RF load balancing is enabled on all MP radios. Use this command to disable or
re-enable RF load balancing for the specified MP radio.
RF load balancing can also be disabled or re-enabled globally with the set load-balancing mode
command. If RF load balancing has been enabled or disabled for a specific MP radio, then the
setting for the individual radio takes precedence over the global setting, if the global setting is
load-balancing mode enabled.
