AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide
5-48
On a single-radio model, Radio1 could either be an 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio depending
on which radio has been enabled.
2. Configure the Properties field to assign a name and placement designation for the radio.
Placement Use the Placement drop-down menu to specify whether the
radio is located outdoors or indoors. Default placement depends on
the country of operation selected for the
access point.
MAC Address The
access point, like other Ethernet devices, has a unique,
hardware encoded Media Access Control (MAC) or IEEE address.
MAC addresses determine the device sending or receiving data. A
MAC address is a 48-bit number written as six hexadecimal bytes
separated by colons. For example: 00:A0:F8:24:9A:C8
Radio Type The
Radio Type parameter simply displays the radio type as
802.11a or 802.11b/g. This field is read only and always displays
the radio type selected from the
access point menu tree under the
Radio Configuration item.
