Configuring radio-specific parameters
This section shows how to configure the channel and transmit power on individual radios, and how to configure for
external antennas. (For information about the parameters you can set on individual radios, see Table 9.)
Configuring the channel and transmit power
To set the channel and transmit power of a radio, use the following commands:
set {ap port-list | ap ap-num} radio {1 | 2} channel channel-number
set {ap port-list | ap ap-num} radio {1 | 2} tx-power power-level
The parameters are shown in separate commands for simplicity. However, you can use the channel and tx-power
parameters on the same command line.
Specify 1 or 2 for the radio number:
• For a single-radio model, specify radio 1.
• For the 802.11b/g radio in a two-radio model, specify radio 1.
• For the 802.11a radio in a two-radio model, specify radio 2.
To configure the 802.11b radio on port 11 for channel 1 with a transmit power of 10 dBm, type the following command:
WSS# set ap 11 radio 1 channel 1 tx-power 10
success: change accepted.
To configure the 802.11a radio on port 5 for channel 36 with a transmit power of 10 dBm, type the following command:
WSS# set ap 5 radio 2 channel 36 tx-power 10
success: change accepted.
You also can change the channel and transmit power on an individual basis.
Configuring the external antenna model
This section introduces the external antenna portfolio available for the WLAN 2300 system AP-2330/2330A/2330B and
Series 2332 Access Points.
• The portfolio includes 802.11b/g (2.4GHz), 802.11a (5GHz) and 802.11a/b/g (2.4/5GHz) models.
Note. If Auto-RF is enabled for channels or power, you cannot set the channels
or power manually using the commands in this section. See “Configuring Auto-RF”
on page 391.
Note. The maximum transmit power you can configure on any Nortel radio is the highest
setting allowed for the country of operation or the highest setting supported on the
hardware, whichever is lower.
