Description

Displays a brief description of the radio provided by the administrator when the radio’s configuration
was added or modified.

Admin Status

A green check mark defines the listed radio configuration as active and enabled with its supported

modified when a new Virtual Interface is created or an existing one modified.

Displays whether each listed radio is operating in the 802.11an or 802.11bgn radio band. If the radio is
a dedicated sensor, it will be listed as a sensor to define the radio as not providing typical WLAN
support. If the radio is a client-bridge, it provides a typical bridging function and does not provide WLAN
support. The radio band is set from within the Radio Settings tab.

Channel

Lists the channel setting for the radio. Smart is the default setting. If set to smart, the Access Point
scans non-overlapping channels listening for beacons from other Access Points. After the channels are
scanned, it selects the channel with the fewest Access Points. In the case of multiple access points on
the same channel, it will select the channel with the lowest average power level. The column displays
smart if set for dynamic Smart RF support.

Transmit Power

Lists the transmit power for each radio displayed as a value in milliwatts.

Overrides

A Clear link appears for each radio configuration that has an override applied to the profile’s
configuration. Select Clear to revert this specific radio configuration to the profile configuration
originally defined by the administrator for this radio.
