On a single-radio model, Radio1 could either be an 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n radio
depending on which radio has been enabled.
2. Configure the Properties field to assign a name and placement designation for the radio.
3. Configure the Channel, Power and Rate Settings field to assign a channel, antenna diversity
setting, radio transmit power level and data rate.
Placement Use the Placement drop-down menu to specify whether the radio is located outdoors or
indoors. Default placement depends on the country of operation selected for the Mobility
7131 Access Point.
MAC Address The Mobility 7131 Access Point, like other Ethernet devices, has a unique, hardware
encoded Media Access Control (MAC) or IEEE address. MAC addresses determine the
device sending or receiving data. A MAC address is a 48-bit number written as six
hexadecimal bytes separated by colons. For example: 00:A0:F8:24:9A:C8. For additional
information on access point MAC address assignments, see MAC Address Assignment on
page 1-29.
Radio Type The Radio Type parameter simply displays the radio type as 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n.
This field is read only and always displays the radio type selected from the Mobility 7131
Access Point menu tree under the Radio Configuration item.
ERP Protection Extended Rate PHY (ERP) allows 802.11g MUs to interoperate with 802.11b only MUs. ERP
Protection is managed automatically by the access point and informs users when 802.11b
MUs are present within the access point’s coverage area. The presence of 802.11b MUs
within the 802.11g coverage area negatively impacts network performance, so this feature
should looked to as an indicator of why network performance has been degraded.
HT Protection Displays the HT Protection state, and whether a non HT protected MU is currently
associated with the access point.
