Radio-Specific Parameters
The channel number, transmit power, and external antenna parameters are unique to each radio and are not controlled by
radio profiles. Table 11 lists the defaults for these parameters.
Although these parameters have default values, Nortel recommends that you change the values for each radio for optimal
performance. For example, leaving the channel number on each radio set to its default value can result in high interfer-
ence among the radios.
(To configure these parameters, see “Configuring Radio-Specific Parameters” on page 273.)
