Dell PowerConnect W AirWave 7.2
| Configuration Guide
High-throughput
Radio Profile
default-a
Select a high-throughput (HT) profile from the drop-down menu to define HT settings for
your 802.11a/g radio profile. Select the pencil icon to edit an existing HT Radio profile, or
click the plus sign to create a new HT Radio profile. You are directed to the HT Radio Profile
setup page. Once you have configured this referenced profile, AWMS returns you to the
802.11a/g Profile page.
For additional HT radio profile information, refer to
“Profiles > RF > 802.11a/g Radio > HT
Radio” on page 106
.
Other Settings
Radio Enable
Yes
Enable transmissions on this radio band.
Mode
ap-mode
Set the access Point operating mode. Available options are as follows:
am-mode
—Device behaves as an air monitor to collect statistics, monitor traffic,
detect intrusions, enforce security policies, balance traffic load, self-heal coverage
gaps, etc.
ap-mode
—Access Point mode
sensor-mode
—RFprotect sensor mode
spectrum-mode
—Spectrum sensor mode. Device operates as an spectrum monitor,
and can send spectrum analysis data to a desktop or laptop client.
High Throughput
Enable (Radio)
Yes
Enable or disable high-throughput (802.11n) features on the radio.
Channel
(34-165)
Set the transmit channel for this radio.
Secondary Channel
None
Sets a secondary channel in relation to the primary channel defined just above. Select an
option as follows:
None
—no secondary channel
Above
—secondary channel is just above the channel defined in
Channel
field
Below
—secondary channel is just below the channel defined in the
Channel
field
Beacon Period
100
Sets the Beacon Period for the AP in milliseconds. The supported range is from 60 to 30,000
milliseconds.
Beacon Regulate
No
Enabling this setting introduces randomness in the beacon generation so that multiple APs
on the same channel do not send beacons at the same time, which causes collisions over
the air.
Transmit Power
15
Sets the maximum transmit power (EIRP) in dBm from 0 to 30 in 0.5 dBm increments. This
setting is limited further by regulatory domain constraints and AP capabilities.
TPC Power
15
The transmit power advertised in the TPC IE of beacons and probe responses. Range: 0-51
dBm
Advertise 802.11d
and 802.11h
Capabilities
No
Enable or disable the radio to advertise its 802.11d (Country Information) and 802.11h
(Transmit Power Control) capabilities.
Advertised
Regulatory Max
EIRP
0
The maximum transmit power (EIRP) advertised.
Spectrum Load
Balancing
No
The Spectrum Load Balancing feature helps optimize network resources by balancing
clients across channels, regardless of whether the AP or the controller is responding to the
wireless clients' probe requests.
If enabled, the controller compares whether or not an AP has more clients than its
neighboring APs on other channels. If an AP’s client load is at or over a predetermined
threshold as compared to its immediate neighbors, or if a neighboring Dell PowerConnect
W AP on another channel does not have any clients, load balancing will be enabled on that
AP. This feature is disabled by default.
