4.8.1.1 Editing Default Radio Adoption Settings
Use the Edit screen to dedicate a target radio as a detector radio, as well as change the radio’s settings
(placement, power and channel) and advanced properties (antenna setting, maximum associations, adoption
preference etc.).
To edit radio adoption configuration settings:
1. Select Network > Access Port Adoption Defaults from the main menu tree.
2. Click the Configuration tab.
3. Select a radio from the table.
CAUTION An access port is required to have a DHCP provided IP address before
attempting layer 3 adoption, otherwise it will not work. Additionally, the access
port must be able to find the IP addresses of the switches on the network. To
locate switch IP addresses on the network:
• Configure DHCP option 189 to specify each switch IP address.
• Configure a DNS Server to resolve an existing name into the IP of the switch.
The access port has to get DNS server information as part of its DHCP
information. The default DNS name requested by an AP300 is
“Symbol-CAPWAP-Address”. However, since the default name is
configurable, it can be set as a factory default to whatever value is needed.
