   Level 1 Area ID

   Select the check box to enable a spinner control for setting the Level 1 Area ID between 1 - 4,294,967,295. The default value is disabled.

4. Define the following Device Heartbeat Settings in respect to devices supported by the profile:

   Designated IS Priority Adjustment

   Set a Designated IS Priority Adjustment setting from -255 and 255. This is the value added to the base level DIS priority to influence the Designated IS (DIS) election. A value of +1 or greater increases DISiness. The default setting is 0.

5. Select the Latency of Routing Recalculation check box (within the Shortest Path First (SPF) field) to enable the spinner control used for defining a latency period from 0 - 60 seconds. The default setting has the check box disabled.

   MLCP IP	Check this box to enable MiNT Link Creation Protocol (MLCP) by IP Address. MLCP is used to create one UDP/IP link from the device to a neighbor. The neighboring device does not need to be a controller, it can be another access point with a path to a controller.
   MLCP VLAN	Check this box to enable MLCP by VLAN. MLCP is used to create one VLAN link from the device to a neighbor. That neighboring device does not need to be a controller, it can be another access point with a path to a controller.
