.

5. Select the

Remove Neighbors

button to remove all neighbors from the selected radio’s neighbor list.

6. Click the

Detect Neighbors

button to auto-determine neighbors for the radios.

Enabling this feature automatically makes each radio disassociate with their attached MUs, clear their

Detect Neighbors only works properly if all the radios are configured and adopted. Starting the automatic
neighbor detection feature disassociates all of the MUs and clears the current neighbor configuration.
