17. Click Apply to save any changes to the Radio Configuration screen. Navigating away from
the screen without clicking Apply results in all changes to the screens being lost.
18. Click Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes reverts the
settings displayed on the Radio Configuration screen to the last saved configuration.
19. Click Logout to securely exit the access point applet. A prompt displays confirming the
logout before the applet is closed.
Once the target radio has been enabled from the Radio Configuration screen, configure
the radio’s properties by selecting it from the AP-7131 menu tree.
For additional information on configuring the access point’s radio, see Configuring the
802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n Radio on page 5-56. For two fictional deployment scenarios, see
Mesh Network Deployment - Quick Setup on page 9-20.
CAUTION When defining a Mesh configuration and changes are saved, the
mesh network temporarily goes down. The mesh network is
unavailable because the access point radio goes down when applying
the changes. This can be problematic for users making changes within
a deployed mesh network. If updating the mesh network using a LAN
connection, the access point applet loses connection and the
connection must be re-instated. If updating the mesh network using a
WAN connection, the applet does not lose connection, but the mesh
network is unavailable until the changes have been applied.
