OmniAccess Reference: AOS-W System Reference
282 Part 031652-00 May 2005
Default Channel – Sets the default channel on which the AP will operate,
unless a better choice is available – either from calibration or from RF Plan.
Initial Transmit Power - Sets the initial transmit power on which the AP will
operate, unless a better choice is available – either from calibration or from RF
Plan.
LMS IP – Specifies the Local Management Switch that the AP will use in
multi-switch networks. The LMS is responsible for terminating user traffic
from the APs, processing it, and forwarding it to the wired network. Setting
the option in this screen will set an LMS for the entire network, which is
probably not desirable.
When using redundant switches as the LMS, set this parameter to be the VRRP
IP address. This will ensure that APs always have an active IP address with
which to terminate sessions.
Short Preamble – Enables or disables short preamble for 802.11b/g radios. In
mixed radio environments, some 802.11b wireless client stations may
experience difficulty associating with the AP using short preamble. To use only
long preamble, disable short preamble. Network performance is higher when
short preamble is enabled. Legacy client devices that use only long preamble
can generally be updated to support short preamble. The default is enabled.
Basic Rates – Specifies the a list of supported rates that will be advertised in
beacon frames and probe responses.
Supported Rates – Specifies the set of rates at which the AP is allowed to
send data. The actual transmit rate depends on what the client is able to
handle, based on information sent at the time of association and on the current
error/loss rate of the client.
The default CLI configuration for ap location 0.0.0 is:
(Alcatel6000) (config) # ap location 0.0.0
(Alcatel6000) (sap-config location 0.0.0) #?
