Desired Channel
When the radio’s channel is configured statically, the Actual Channel and Desired Channel

the radio. The Desired Channel displays “ACS” and the Actual channel displays the channel
selected for the radio. When set to Random, the applet makes the channel designation.
Actual Channel
When the radio’s channel is configured statically, the Actual Channel and Desired Channel
are the same. If using ACS (Automatic Channel Selection), the switch selects a channel for
the radio. The Desired channel displays “ACS” and the Actual Channel displays the channel
selected for the radio.
Desired Power (dBm)
Displays the configured power setting in dBm for the selected radio. In most cases, the
Desired Power and Actual Power are the same unless the desired power level would put the
radio's output power outside the accepted regulatory compliance range.
Actual Power
Displays the current power level in dBm for the selected radio. In most cases, the Desired
Power and Actual Power are the same unless the desired power level would put the radio's
output power outside the accepted regulatory compliance range.
Placement
When the radio is adopted using the default configuration, the power for the radio can be
defined as “Indoor” or “Outdoor.” However, some countries have restrictions for the use of
outdoor radios. If using a value of “Outdoor” verify it is in compliance with the country of
operation.
Last Adopted
Displays the time this radio was last adopted by the switch.
