Configuring the Wireless Array 291
 For all 802.11n settings, go to “Global Settings .11n” on page 322.
 For all 802.11ac settings, go to “Global Settings .11ac” on page 325.
Procedure for Manually Configuring IAPs
1. The row for each IAP summarizes its settings. Click to expand it and
display the settings. Click again to collapse the entry.
2. In the Enable field select enabled, or select disabled if you want to turn
off the IAP. The state of the channel is displayed with a green dot if
enabled, and a red dot if disabled.
3. In the Band field, select the wireless band for this IAP from the choices
available in the pull-down menu, either 2.4GHz or 5 GHz. Choosing the
5GHz band will automatically select an adjacent channel for bonding. If
the band displayed is auto, the Band is about to be changed based on a
new Channel selection that you made that requires the change.
One of the IAPs must be set to monitor mode if you wish to support
Spectrum Analyzer, Radio Assurance (loopback testing), and Intrusion
Detection features. Monitoring has a Timeshare mode option, which is
especially useful for small Arrays with two IAPs allowing one IAP to be
shared between monitoring the airwaves for problems and providing
services to stations. See RF Monitor Mode in “Advanced RF Settings” on
page 333 to set this option.
4. In the WiFi Mode field, select the IEEE 802.11 wireless mode (or
combination) that you want to allow on this IAP. The drop-down list will
only display the appropriate choices for the selected Band. For example,
the 5 GHz band allows you to select ac-only, anac, an, a-only, or n-only,

For XR-520 Series Arrays only: 
—iap1 may be set to either band or to monitor (also see the Timeshare option
in “RF Monitor” on page 334).

—iap2 is permanently set to 5 GHz.
