Note

Extreme Networks provides defaults for each item in this section. The following steps are optional, except for the required radio profile Name.
  1. Go to Configure > Common Objects > Policy > Radio Profiles.
  2. Select and existing profile, and then select Edit, or select Add.
  3. Type the radio profile Name.
  4. Type a Description.

    Although optional, descriptions can be helpful when you are troubleshooting your network.

  5. Select the desired 802 specification from the Support Radio Modes menu.
  6. To set the optimal maximum power level, enter a value for Maximum Transmit Power.
  7. To set the minimum power level, enter a value for Transmission Power Floor.
  8. To set the maximum value the radio power can drop below the current power level, enter a value for Transmission Power Drop.
  9. To set the maximum number of wireless clients that can use the radio, type a value for Maximum Number of Clients.

    (Default: 100, Range: 1-255)

    A lower value permits fewer concurrent connections to the AP and provides a higher quality of service. A high number of concurrent connections to a radio might affect the quality of service. While 100 might be a bit high for a classroom setting, higher values are suitable for larger public spaces, such as cafeterias or gymnasiums. A higher setting is appropriate for APs that serve dense outdoor areas with frequent connections that quickly roam to other areas.

  10. Select SAVE RADIO PROFILE.

Now that you have completed the basic configuration, you can modify advanced radio profile settings. Remember to select SAVE RADIO PROFILE after changing advanced settings.
