In the CLI
To configure a radio profile:
(Instant AP)# wifi0-mode {<access>|<monitor>|<spectrum-monitor>}
(Instant AP)# wifi1-mode {<access>|<monitor>|<spectrum-monitor>}
If the access mode is configured, you can configure the channel and transmission power by running the
following commands:
(Instant AP)# a-channel <channel> <tx-power>
(Instant AP)# g-channel <channel> <tx-power>
Configuring Uplink VLANfor a W-IAP
Instant supports a management VLAN for the uplink traffic on a W-IAP. You can configure an uplink
VLANwhen a W-IAP needs to be managed from a non-native VLAN. After a W-IAP is provisioned with the uplink
management VLAN, all management traffic sent from the W-IAP is tagged with the management VLAN.
Ensure that the native VLAN of the W-IAP and uplink are not the same.
You can configure the uplink management VLAN on a W-IAP by using the Instant UI or CLI.
In the Instant UI
To configure uplink management VLAN:
1. On the Access Points tab, click the W-IAP to modify. The edit link is displayed.
2. Click the edit link. The edit window for modifying W-IAP details is displayed.
3. Click the Uplink tab.
4. Specify the VLAN in the Uplink Management VLAN field.
5. Click OK.
6. Reboot the W-IAP.
In the CLI
To configure uplink VLAN:
(Instant AP)# uplink-vlan <VLAN-ID>
To view the uplink VLAN status:
(Instant AP)# show uplink-vlan
Uplink Vlan Current :0
Uplink Vlan Provisioned :1
Changing USB Port Status
The USB port can be enabled or disabled based on your uplink preferences. If you do not want to use the
cellular uplink or 3G/4G modem in your current network setup, you can set the USB port status to disabled. By
default, the USB port status is enabled.
You can change the USB port status in the Instant UI or CLI.
