Determining the Radio Type Radio Channel and Transmit Frequency Configuration Determining the Radio Type Determine the radio type to establish the frequency range of the radio. Use the show controllers dot11Radio command to show the radio type, frequency, and current channel for the wireless device. For example: bridge#show controller dot11 interfaceNum ! interface Dot11Radio0 Radio ATHEROS AR5414, Base Address 0017.0fe0.b6d0, BBlock version 0.00, Software version 3.00.0 Serial number: FOC10452M68 Number of supported simultaneous BSSID on Dot11Radio0: 1 TXQ_LOCK = 0, DOT11_DEAD = 0 Carrier Set: ETSI Outdoor (OFDM) (EU) Uniform Spreading Required: Yes Current Frequency: 5260 MHz Channel 52 (DFS enabled) Allowed Frequencies: 5260(52) 5280(56) 5300(60) 5320(64) 5500(100) 5520(104) 5540(108) 5560(112) 5580(116) 5600(120) 5620(124) 5640(128) 5660(132) 5680(136) 5700(140) Listen Frequencies: 5260(52) 5280(56) 5300(60) 5320(64) 5500(100) 5520(104) 5540(108) 5560(112) 5580(116) 5600(120) 5620(124) 5640(128) 5660(132) 5680(136) 5700(140) Configuring a Channel or Frequency To set the channel, follow these steps: • Determine the radio type to verify that the radio manual setting of the channel and to verify that the wireless device is not operating in a regulatory domain that requires DFS. • Configure the radio channel or frequency to eliminate overlapping channels on models that allow user-set channel selection. Configuring the Radio Channel or Frequency To set the radio channel by number or frequency, use the following command, beginning in privileged EXEC mode: channel {channel_number | frequency | least_congested} Step 1 Step 2 Command configure terminal interface dot11radio port Purpose Enters global configuration mode. Enters interface configuration mode for the radio interface. Radio Channels and Transmit Frequencies 2 OL-11491-03
