- 5 GHz: 802.11a, 802.11n, and 802.11a/n radio profiles
Channel bandwidth Channel bandwidth of the specified radio on the AP. When multiple APs are selected, this parameter is configurable only when the APs are in the same AP region.NOTE:By default, a radio channel works at 20 MHz.Channel Channel of the specified radio on the AP.NOTE:After an AP region is configured, this parameter can be set to a channel supported by the AP region.
To avoid signal interference, ensure that neighboring APs work on different channels.
Power level Power level of a specified radio on the AP.
By default, the power level of a radio is 0, indicating full power. The power level depends on the AP type. The power decreases 1 dBm each time when the power level value increases one.
MCS value MCS value of a specified radio on the AP.NOTE:This parameter is available only when radio type is 802.11n, 802.11a/n, 802.11g/n, or 802.11b/g/n.Multicast MCS value Multicast MCS value of a specified radio on the AP.NOTE:This parameter is available only when radio type is 802.11n, 802.11a/n, 802.11g/n, or 802.11b/g/n.
When none is selected, original configurations remain unchanged.
Multicast rate (Mbit/s) Multicast rate of a specified radio on the AP.NOTE:By default, the rate of wireless multicast packets is 11 Mbit/s for a 80211b, 80211bg, 80211bgn, or 80211n radio and 6 Mbit/s for radios of other types.
If you configure the maximum rate for a radio but the radio does not support the configured maximum rate, the configuration fails.
MCS value and rate of multicast packets cannot be configured simultaneously.
