Radio Profiles
You can easily assign radio configuration parameters to many radios by configuring a radio profile and assigning the
profile to the radios. To use a radio, you must assign a profile to the radio. You can enable the radio when you assign the
profile.
Table 10 summarizes the parameters controlled by radio profiles. Generally, the only radio parameters controlled by the
profile that you need to modify are the SSIDs and, if applicable, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) settings. The other
parameter settings are standard.
Note. For information about the auto-tune parameters, see Table 19 on page 295.
