3. Click an AP label to open the Device Details page for the fit AP.
4. In the Radio Interface area, click the Modify icon for a radio to open the Modify Radio Parameters page.
5. Modify the parameters as needed.
6. Click OK.

Parameters

Radio parameters for Comware-based fit APs:

• Radio ID: Identifies a radio.
• Radio Type: Options are 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11an, and 802.11gn. The default radio type depends on the product model.
• Admin Status: Indicates whether the radio can be used. Options are Up and Down.
• Channels in Use: Channel configuration of the radio of the AP. The value range is 1 to 13. The default channel is automatically selected by the radio.
• Max Transmission Power (dBm): Maximum transmission power of a fit AP. The value range depends on the area code and radio type of the AC for the fit AP.
• Preamble Type: Preamble type used by the frame. Options are long or short. By default, the value is short.
• Radio Policy: Each radio can have only one radio policy. You can select a radio policy from the list next to the radio policy.
• A-MPDU Enable: Indicates whether to enable the A-MPDU. This parameter appears when the radio type is set to 802.11gn or 802.11an.
• A-MSDU Enable: Indicates whether to enable the A-MSDU. This parameter appears when the radio type is set to 802.11gn or 802.11an.
• Client Dot11n Only: Indicates whether to enable client dot11n only. This parameter appears when the radio type is set to 802.11gn or 802.11an.
• Dot11n Channelband: The options are 20MHz and 40MHz. This parameter appears when the radio type is set to 802.11gn or 802.11an.
• Short GI Enable: Indicates whether to enable the short GI. This parameter appears when the radio type is set to 802.11gn or 802.11an.
• Service Policy: Each radio can have multiple service policies. You can select a service policy by selecting the check box next to it.
• MP Policy: Each radio can be bound to one MP policy. You can select an MP policy from the MP Policy list.
• Mesh Profile ID: Each radio can be bound to one mesh profile. You can select a mesh profile from the Mesh Profile ID list.
• Channel Calibration Lock down: Indicates whether to lock the Channel Calibration.
• Power Calibration Lock down: Indicates whether to lock the Power Calibration.
• WMM Enable: Indicates whether to enable WMM. This field is valid for all radio types. If the radio type is 802.11gn or 802.11an, you must enable WMM.
• CAC Policy: Set the CAC policy. Options are:
  • CAC ChannelUtilization: Set the maximum hold time of the channel. The value range is 0 to 100.
  • CAC UserNumber: Set the maximum number of clients. The value range is 0 to 64.
• Synchronize AC: Synchronize the radio configurations to the radios of all ACs in the selected AC group.
• AC Group: AC group to which the configuration is synchronized.

Radio parameters for MSM fit APs:

• Inherited: Indicates whether to inherit the group parameters of the group to which the AP belongs.
• Radio Type: Options are 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11bg, 802.11at, 802.11an, 802.11gn, 802.11n (2.4GHz), 802.11bgn, 802.11n, and 802.11n (5GHz).
• Channels in Use: Channel configured for the radio of the AP. The value range for this parameter depends on the area code and radio type of the AP. By default, the channel used is the channel automatically selected by the radio.
• Admin Status: Indicates whether the radio can be used. Options are Up and Down.
• Max Transmission Power: Maximum transmission power of the AP. The value range for this parameter depends on the area code and radio type of the AP.
• Operating Mode: Operating mode of the radio. Options are Access Point And Local Mesh, Access Point Only, Local Mesh Only, Monitor, and Sensor. The value range depends on the device model.
• Collect Client Statistics: Indicates whether to collect the client statistics. When the option is selected and the operating mode is not Monitor or Sensor, you can use the radio to perform AP wireless locating.
• Scan Ratio: Percentage of time spent on scanning channels other than the operating channel.
• Dwell Time: Amount of time (in milliseconds) that a radio remains on a channel while performing channel scanning.
• Scan Mode: Options are Active and Passive.
• Bands to Scan: Options are Both bands and Operating band only.
• Channels to Scan: Options are All channels, Regulatory channels only, and Non-excluded channels only.

Radio parameters for Cisco fit APs:

• Admin Status: Indicates whether the radio can be used. Options are Up and Down. A radio can operate only when the admin status is up.
• Antenna Config: Antenna type. Options are A, B, and C.
• Channel Assignment: Channel Assignment method. Options are Global and Custom. Select Global to use the globally configured channel, and Custom to manually specify a channel.
• Tx Power Level Assignment: Transmission power level assignment method. Options are Global and Custom. Select Global to use the Tx power level globally assigned by the AC, and Custom to manually specify a Tx power level.

Remarks

• A radio with a channel selection of auto cannot be automatically bound to a mesh profile.
• The link backhaul rate of the mesh profile bound to a radio must match the radio type.
• You must wait about 20 seconds to view the channel information for a radio configured with auto channels.
