Understand Radio Mode

Configure radio Mode from the device group configuration Profile Radios tab.

Go to Sites and select a site.
Select Device Groups and select a device group.
Next to the Profile field, select to edit the profile.
Select the Radios tab.

ExtremeCloud IQ Controller presents valid values for Radio Mode based on the AP capability.

Note

Sensor mode converts the radio to a sensor for ADSP and Positioning. The AP4xx access point models offer a third radio that is a separate sensor radio, and AP4020/X/FX, AP4060/X, AP5022/FX/S6D, and AP5060D/U offer a fourth radio that is a dedicated sensor. For more information, see Radio as a Sensor.

Note

Only one radio can be configured for Client Bridge. All traffic received by the client bridge AP over wired port or by the remaining radios is forwarded to the infrastructure network via the client bridge radio.

Table 1. Radio Modes
AP Model	Radio 1	Radio 2	Radio 3
AP302W	2.4GHz /5GHz (dual band) sensor b/g g/n b/g/n a/n/ac g/n/ax a/n/ac/ax client-bridge	5GHz a/n/ac a/n/ac/ax client-bridge Note: 160 MHz channel width not supported.
AP305C/CX	2.4GHz /5GHz (dual band) sensor b/g g/n b/g/n a/n/ac g/n/ax a/n/ac/ax client-bridge	5GHz sensor a/n/ac a/n/ac/ax client-bridge Note: 160 MHz channel width not supported. AP305C must configure sensor for both radios together.
Note: AP305C/CX offers a single port. When Client Bridge is configured on a single interface AP, the single interface is used as the client port, not as an uplink, and you will not see the ETH1 Port Function field in the Profile Advanced dialog. The Bridge port is not supported on access points with a single Ethernet port.

The Protocol/Role options available for each AP3020W, AP4020/X/FX, AP4060/X, AP5020, AP5022/FX/SD6, and AP5060D/U radio depends on the selected Operational Mode.
Radio 4 is disabled by default. It operates as a dedicated sensor for either AirDefense Essentials or AirDefense Services Platform (ADSP). See AirDefense Essentials Configuration or AirDefense Profile Settings for further detail. The Smart RF Auto Sensor feature works in conjunction with ADSP to automatically enable dedicated sensor radios on eligible APs deployed at a Site. See Smart RF Auto Sensor for further detail.
