To set the access point radio configuration (this example is for a dual-radio Access Point):
1 Select Network Configuration > Wireless > Radio Configuration from the access point menu tree.
Review the Radio Function to assess if this radio is currently functioning as a WLAN radio or has
been dedicated as a sensor.
Refer to RF Band of Operation parameter to ensure you are enabling the correct 802.11a/n or 802.11b/
g/n radio. After the settings are applied within this Radio Configuration screen, the Radio Status and
MUs connected values update. If this is an existing radio within a mesh network, these values update
in real-time.
NOTE
This section describes mesh networking (setting the radio’s base and client bridge configuration) at a
high level. For a detailed overview on the theory of mesh networking, see “Mesh Networking Overview” on
page 577. For detailed information on the implications of setting the mesh configuration, see “Configuring Mesh
Networking Support” on page 581. To review mesh network deployment scenarios, see “Mesh Network
Deployment - Quick Setup” on page 590.
Refer to the Sensor-only mode parameter to discern whether this Access Point radio has been set to
function as WLAN radio (normal operation) or as a dedicated sensor (no WLAN support available).
The Access Point is set as a sensor radio using either the Access Point’s Quick Setup screen or using a
CLI command. Sensor mode support is disabled by default. For more information on using the
Quick Setup screen to define the radio mode, see “Basic Device Configuration” on page 65.
2 Set the Maximum MUs between 0–127.
The maximum number of MUs that can associate to a single AP is 127. Therefore, the possible
number of MUs that can associate to each radio is between 0 and 127.
