For a detailed overview on mesh networking and how to configure the radio for mesh
networking support, see
Configuring Mesh Networking Support on page 9-6 .
8. Click Apply to save any changes to the Radio Configuration screen. Navigating away from
the screen without clicking Apply results in all changes to the screens being lost.
9. Click Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes reverts the
settings displayed on the Radio Configuration screen to the last saved configuration.
10. Click Logout to securely exit the Access Point applet. A prompt displays confirming the
logout before the applet is closed.
Once the target radio has been enabled from the Radio Configuration screen, configure
the radio’s properties by selecting it from the access point menu tree.
For more information, see Configuring the 802.11a or 802.11b/g Radio on page 5-55 .
5.3.2.1 Configuring the 802.11a or 802.11b/g Radio
Configure an 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio by selecting the radio’s name (as defined using the 802.11a
or 802.11b/g radio configuration screen described below) as a sub-menu item under the Radio
Configuration menu item. Use the radio configuration screen to set the radio’s placement properties,
define the radio’s threshold and QoS settings, set the radio’s channel and antenna settings and define
beacon and DTIM intervals.
To configure the access point’s 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio:
1. Select Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Radio Configuration -> Radio1 (default
name) from the access point menu tree.
On a single-radio model, Radio1 could either be an 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio depending
on which radio has been enabled.
CAUTION When defining a Mesh configuration and changes are saved, the
mesh network temporarily goes down. The Mesh network is
unavailable because the access point radio is reconfigured when
applying changes. This can be problematic for users making changes
within a deployed mesh network. If updating the mesh network using
a LAN connection, the access point applet loses connection and the
connection must be re-instated. If updating the mesh network using a
WAN connection, the access point applet does not lose connection,
but the mesh network is unavailable until the changes have been
applied.
