Radio Frequency Carrier
Specify the frequency for the module to transmit. The default for this parameter is None. (The
selection labeled Factory requires a special software key file for implementation.) For a list of
channels in the band, see the drop-down list or Considering Frequency Band Alternatives on
Page 134.
Alternate Frequency Carrier 1
If your network operates in a region in which DFS shutdown capability is required, and you do not
see this parameter, perform the following steps:
1. Click the General tab.
2. Set the Region Code parameter from its drop-down list.
3. Click the Save Changes button.
4. Click the Reboot button.
5. Click the Radio tab.
From the drop-down list, select the frequency that the AP should switch to if it detects a radar
signature on the frequency configured in the Radio Frequency Carrier parameter. See Radar
Signature Detection and Shutdown on Page 127.
Alternate Frequency Carrier 2
From the drop-down list, select the frequency that the AP should switch to if it detects a radar
signature on the frequency configured in the Alternate Frequency Carrier 1 parameter. See
Radar Signature Detection and Shutdown on Page 127.
Color Code
Specify a value from 0 to 254. For registration to occur, the color code of the SM and the AP must
match. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically
for assigning each sector a different color code.
Color code allows you to force an SM to register to only a specific AP, even where the SM can
communicate with multiple APs. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value
matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes).
RECOMMENDATION:
Note the color code that you enter. Ensure that you can readily associate this
color code both with the module and with the other data that you store about the
module.
