10. Assign the unit an identifiable name (optional). To assign the Master VCU an identifiable

name:

• Select the Module Info Tab and click the Modify button.

Figure 4-3. Module Info Tab

• Type the unit name (up to 17 alpha-numeric characters) in the Controller Name dialog

and click OK.

11. Uplink Cable Compensation – enable this parameter ONLY if the bonded cable lengths vary

between the VCU and VAPs (reduces noise). See Figure

4-3. It is NOT recommended to

enable this option for similar cable lengths between the VCU and the connected VAPs.

12. All Antennas – used to globally set usage of either external or internal antennas of VAPs that

support both internal and external antenna options. (Antennas that support only external or

only internal antennas are not affected.)

Note 1: The antenna type can be individually defined for each VAP via the VAP ServiceRF tab.

See section

5.5

Note 2: Internal antennas (MIMO support for Horizontal Omni-Directional Antennas Only)
