4.7.1.1 Configuring an AP’s Global Settings
Use the Global Settings screen to define an adoption preference ID for the switch and enable an option to
adopt non-configured radios. This can be helpful when you do not want to change an access port’s
configuration but require the access port be adopted.
To edit Global Radio configuration settings:
Desired Channel When the radio’s channel is configured statically, the Actual
Channel and Desired Channel are the same. If using ACS
(Automatic Channel Selection), the switch selects a channel for the
radio. The Desired Channel displays “ACS” and the Actual channel
displays the channel selected for the radio. When set to Random,
the applet determines the channel’s designation.
Actual Channel When the radio’s channel is configured statically, the Actual
Channel and Desired Channel are the same. If using ACS, the
switch selects a channel for the radio. The Desired channel
displays “ACS” and the Actual Channel displays the channel
selected for the radio.
Desired Power (dBm) Displays the configured power setting in dBm for the selected
radio. In most cases, the Desired Power and Actual Power are the
same unless the desired power level would put the radio's output
power outside the accepted regulatory compliance range.
Actual Power Displays the current power level in dBm for the selected radio. In
most cases, the Desired Power and Actual Power are the same
unless the desired power level would put the radio's output power
outside the accepted regulatory compliance range.
Placement When the radio is adopted using the default configuration, the
power for the radio can be defined as “Indoor” or “Outdoor.”
However, some countries have restrictions for the use of outdoor
radios. If using a value of “Outdoor” verify it is in compliance with
the country of operation’s regulatory restrictions.
Last Adopted Displays the time this radio was last adopted by the switch.
