AP-5131 Access Point Product Reference Guide

5-46

Enable the radio(s) using the

Enable

checkbox(es).

Refer to

RF Band of Operation

parameter to ensure you are enabling the correct 802.11a

or 802.11b/g radio. After the settings are applied within this Radio Configuration screen, the

Radio Status

and

MUs connected

values update. If this is an existing radio within a mesh

network, these values update in real-time.

Select the

Base Bridge

checkbox to allow the AP-5131 radio to accept client bridge

connections from other AP-5131s in client bridge mode. The base bridge is the acceptor of
mesh network data from those client bridges within the mesh network and never the
initiator.

If the Base Bridge checkbox has been selected, use the

Max# Client Bridges

parameter

to define the client bridge load on a particular base bridge.

CAUTION If a radio is disabled, be careful not to accidentally configure a new

WLAN, expecting the radio to be operating when you have forgotten it
was disabled.
