Review the Radio Function to assess if this radio is currently functioning as a WLAN radio
or has been dedicated as a sensor.
Refer to RF Band of Operation parameter to ensure you are enabling the correct
802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n 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.
NOTE
This section describes mesh networking (setting the radio’s base and client bridge configuration) at
a high level. For a detailed overview on the theory of mesh networking, see In this chapter on page
9-443. For detailed information on the implications of setting the mesh configuration, see
Configuring Mesh Networking Support on page 9-447. To review mesh network deployment
scenarios, see Mesh Network Deployment - Quick Setup on page 9-457.
Refer to the Sensor-only mode parameter to discern whether this access point radio has
been set to function as WLAN radio (normal operation) or as a dedicated sensor (no WLAN
support available). The access point is set as a sensor radio using either the access
point’s Quick Setup screen or using a CLI command. Sensor mode support is disabled by
default. For more information on using the Quick Setup screen to define the radio mode,
see Basic Device Configuration on page 3-53.
2. Set the Maximum MUs between 0 - 127.
The maximum number of MUs that can associate to a single AP is 127. Therefore, the
possible number of MUs that can associate to each radio is between 0 and 127. This
implies the maximum number of associations for a single-radio AP is the same as the limit
of 127 MUs for the entire AP.
