An access point can have its radio profile configuration overridden after its radios have successfully associated to the network.
The WiNG 7.X.X OS supports the new, ExtremeMobility, 802.11ax AP3xx, AP4xx and AP5xx model access points. Refer to the following for radio and antenna details:
To override the radio configuration of an access point adopted to a wireless controller to service platform:
Note
You can also select the access point from the device browser in the lower, left-hand, side of the UI.Note

Displays whether the reporting radio is radio 1, radio 2 or radio 3. AP505i, AP510i/e, AP560i/h model access points have 2 radios. |
Type | Displays whether the radio has been designated as a typical WLAN radio or if the radio has been designated as a sensor. |
Description | A brief description provided by the administrator when the radio's configuration was added or modified. |
Admin Status | A green check mark means the radio is enabled for client or sensor support. A red “X” means the radio is currently disabled. |
RF Mode | Displays whether each listed radio is operating in the 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n 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 in the Radio Settings tab. |
Channel | Lists the channel setting for the radio. Smart is the default setting. Smart indicates the access point is set for dynamic Smart RF support. 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 selects the channel with the lowest average power level. |
Transmit Power |
Lists the transmit power for each radio. The column displays smart if Smart-RF is used to set the transmit power for this radio. |
Overrides |
A Clear option 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. |
