Parameter Description
ARM profile Dell's proprietary Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology maximizes
WLAN performance by dynamically and intelligently choosing the best 802.11
channel and transmit power for each Dell AP in its current RF environment.
Every RF management profile references an ARM profile. If you specify an active
and enabled ARM profile, you do not need to manually configure the Channel and
Transmit Power parameters for this 802.11a or 802.11g profile. For details on
referencing an ARM profile, see Assigning an ARM Profile on page 552.
The Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) profile associated with this 802.11a or
802.11g radio profile appears beneath the 802.11a/802.11g radio profile name in
the profiles list. To change the ARM profile associated with an 802.11a or 802.11g
radio profile, select the associated ARM profile in the profiles list then click the
drop-down list in the Profile Details section of the page to select a new profile.
High-throughput
radio profile
A high-throughput profile manages 40 MHz tolerance settings, and controls
whether or not APs using this profile will advertise intolerance of 40 MHz
operation. (This option is disabled by default, allowing 40 MHz operation.)
A high-throughput profile also determines whether an AP radio using the profile
will stop using the 40 MHz channels surrounding APs or stations advertise 40 MHz
intolerance. This option is enabled by default. For details on referencing a high-
throughput radio profile, see Assigning a High-throughput Profile on page 552.
The high-throughput radio profile associated with this 802.11a or 802.11g radio
profile appears beneath the 802.11a/802.11g radio profile name in the profiles list.
To change the high-throughput radio profile associated with an 802.11a or 802.11g
radio profile, select the associated high-throughput radio profile in the profiles list
then click the drop-down list in the Profile Details section of the page to select a
new profile.
Spectrum
Monitoring Profile
The spectrum monitoring profile defines the spectrum band and device ageout
times used by a spectrum monitor radio.
The spectrum monitoring profile associated with this 802.11a or 802.11g radio
profile appears beneath the 802.11a/802.11g radio profile name in the profiles list.
To change the spectrum monitoring profile associated with an 802.11a or 802.11g
radio profile, select the associated spectrum monitoring profile in the profiles list
then click the drop-down list in the Profile Details section of the page to select a
new profile.
AM Scanning
Profile
The AM scanning profile associated with this 802.11a or 802.11g radio profile
appears beneath the 802.11a/802.11g radio profile name in the profiles list. To
change the AM scanning profile associated with an 802.11a or 802.11g radio
profile, select the associated AM scanning profile in the profiles list then click the
drop-down list in the Profile Details section of the page to select a new profile.
Assigning an 802.11a/802.11g Profile to an AP or AP Group
