The USB device identifier. The dial string for the USB modem. The initialization string for the USB modem. The TTY device path for the USB modem. Set the priority of the cellular uplink. By default, the cellular uplink is a lower priority than the wired uplink; making the wired link the primary link and the cellular link the secondary or backup link. Configuring the cellular link with a higher priority than your wired link priority will set your cellular link as the primary controller link. Set the priority of the wired uplink. Each uplink type has an associated priority; wired ports having the highest priority by default. If you configure an uplink VLAN on an AP connected to a port in trunk mode, the AP sends and receives frames tagged with this VLAN on its Ethernet uplink. By default, an AP has an uplink VLAN of 0, which disables this feature. NOTE: If an AP is provisioned with an uplink VLAN, it must be connected to a trunk mode port or the AP's frames will be dropped. Profiles > AP > Regulatory Domain This profile type defines an AP's country code and valid channels for both legacy and high-throughput 802.11a and 802.11b/g radios. With the implementation of the high-throughput IEEE 802.11n draft standard, 40 MHz channels were added in addition to the existing 20 MHz channel options. Available 20 MHz and 40 MHz channels are dependent on the country code entered in the regulatory domain profile. The following channel configurations are now available in AOS:  A 20 MHz channel assignment consists of a single 20 MHz channel assignment. This channel assignment is valid for 802.11a/b/g and for 802.11n 20 MHz mode of operation.  A 40 MHz channel assignment consists of two 20 MHz channels bonded together (a bonded pair). This channel assignment is valid for 802.11n 40 MHz mode of operation and is most often utilized on the 5 GHz frequency band. If high-throughput is disabled, a 40 MHz channel assignment can be configured, but only the primary channel assignment will be utilized. 20 MHz clients can also associate using this configuration, but only the primary channel will be utilized. A high-throughput (HT) AP can use a 40 MHz channel pair comprised of two adjacent 20 MHz channels available in the regulatory domain profile for your country. When ARM is configured for a dual-band AP, it will dynamically select the primary and secondary channels for these devices. It can, however, continue to scan all changes in the a+b/g bands to calculate interference and detect rogue APs. Perform these steps to configure a Regulatory Domain profile. 1.

This profile type defines an AP’s country code and valid channels for both legacy and high-throughput 802.11a
and 802.11b/g radios.
With the implementation of the high-throughput IEEE 802.11n draft standard, 40 MHz channels were added in
addition to the existing 20 MHz channel options. Available 20 MHz and 40 MHz channels are dependent on the
country code entered in the regulatory domain profile.
The following channel configurations are now available in AOS:
A 20 MHz channel assignment consists of a single 20 MHz channel assignment. This channel assignment is
valid for 802.11a/b/g and for 802.11n 20 MHz mode of operation.
A 40 MHz channel assignment consists of two 20 MHz channels bonded together (a bonded pair). This
channel assignment is valid for 802.11n 40 MHz mode of operation and is most often utilized on the 5 GHz
frequency band. If high-throughput is disabled, a 40 MHz channel assignment can be configured, but only the
primary channel assignment will be utilized. 20 MHz clients can also associate using this configuration, but
only the primary channel will be utilized.
A high-throughput (HT) AP can use a 40 MHz channel pair comprised of two adjacent 20 MHz channels
available in the regulatory domain profile for your country. When ARM is configured for a dual-band AP, it will
dynamically select the primary and secondary channels for these devices. It can, however, continue to scan all
changes in the a+b/g bands to calculate interference and detect rogue APs.
Perform these steps to configure a
Regulatory Domain
profile.
1.
Select
Profiles > AP > Regulatory Domain
in the
Dell PowerConnect W Navigation
pane. This page
summarizes the current profiles of this type.
USB Device Type
The USB device type.
USB Device Identifier
The USB device identifier.
USB Dial String
The dial string for the USB modem.
USB Initialization String
The initialization string for the USB modem.
USB TTY Device Path
The TTY device path for the USB modem.
Link Priority Ethernet (0-255)
0
Set the priority of the cellular uplink. By default, the cellular uplink is a lower priority
than the wired uplink; making the wired link the primary link and the cellular link the
secondary or backup link.
Configuring the cellular link with a higher priority than your wired link priority will
set your cellular link as the primary controller link.
Link Priority Cellular (0-255)
0
Set the priority of the wired uplink. Each uplink type has an associated priority;
wired ports having the highest priority by default.
Uplink VLAN (0-4095)
0
If you configure an uplink VLAN on an AP connected to a port in trunk mode, the AP
sends and receives frames tagged with this VLAN on its Ethernet uplink.
By default, an AP has an uplink VLAN of 0, which disables this feature.
NOTE:
If an AP is provisioned with an uplink VLAN, it
must be connected to a trunk
mode port
or the AP’s frames will be dropped.
