(To configure a radio profile, see “Configuring a radio profile” on page 312.)
Auto-RF
The Auto-RF feature dynamically assigns channel and power settings to AP radios, and adjusts those settings when
needed. Auto-RF can perform the following tasks:
• Assign initial channel and power settings when an AP radio is started.
• Periodically assess the RF environment and change the channel or power setting if needed.
• Change the transmit data rate or power to maintain at least the minimum data rate with all associated clients.
By default, Auto-RF is enabled for channel configuration but disabled for power configuration.
(For more information, see “Configuring Auto-RF” on page 391.)
Default radio profile
WSS Software contains one default radio profile, named default. To apply common parameters to radios, you can
modify the default profile or create a new one. When you create a new profile, the radio parameters in the profile are set
to their factory default values.
preamble-length short Advertises support for short 802.11b
preambles, accepts either short or long
802.11b preambles, and generates unicast
frames with the preamble length specified
by the client.
Note: This parameter applies only
to 802.11b/g radios.
qos-mode wmm Classifies and marks traffic based on
802.1p and DSCP, and optimizes
forwarding prioritization of AP radios for
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM).
rfid-mode disable Radio does not function as a location
receiver in an AeroScout Visibility
System.
rts-threshold 2346 Transmits frames longer than 2346 bytes
by means of the Request-to-Send/
Clear-to-Send (RTS/CTS) method.
service-profile No service
profiles defined
You must configure a service profile. The
service profile sets the SSID name and
other parameters.
wmm-powersave disable Requires clients to send a separate PSpoll
to retrieve each unicast packet buffered by
the AP radio.
