OINTS

Although these parameters have default values, 3Com recommends that
you change the values for each radio for optimal performance. For
example, leaving the channel number on each radio set to its default
value can result in high interference among the radios.

(To configure these parameters, see “Configuring Radio-Specific
Parameters” on page 246.)

antennatype

For most MAP models, the
default is internal.

For MP-620, the default for the
802.11b/g radio is
ANT-1360-OUT. The default for

ANT-5360-OUT.

The default for the 802.11b/g
