Viewing and Configuring MAPs
275
In the Radio Profile list, select the profile to which the radio belongs. 
In the Channel Number list, select the channel number for the radio.
If RF Auto-Tuning for channel configuration is enabled, setting this value 
has no effect. The channel number is controlled by RF Auto-Tuning.
In the Transmit Power box, specify the transmit power for the radio.
If RF Auto-Tuning for power configuration is enabled, setting this value 
has no effect. The power level is controlled by RF Auto-Tuning.
If the MAP has two radios, click Next and repeat this step for the 
other radio. Otherwise, go to step 11.
11 Click Finish.
Configuring a Directly
Connected MAP
MAPs contain radios that provide networking between your wired 
network and IEEE 802.11 wireless users. A MAP can connect to the wired 
network through a direct 10/100 Ethernet connection to a WX or 
indirectly through other Layer 2 or Layer 3 wired networking devices. 
Configure a MAP port for each directly connected MAP.
Table 21 lists how many MAPs you can configure on a WX switch, and 
how many MAPs a switch can boot. The numbers are for directly 
connected and Distributed MAPs combined.
For a MAP that is indirectly connected to the WX through an 
intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network, configure a Distributed MAP 
instead. (See “Creating a Distributed MAP” on page 273.)
You cannot configure any gigabit Ethernet port, or port 7 or 8 on a 
WX1200 switch, or port 1 on a WXR100 switch, as a MAP port. To 
manage a MAP on a WX4400 switch, configure a Distributed MAP 
connection on the switch. (See “Creating a Distributed MAP” on 
page 273.)
