You must configure a radio profile to set attributes that you can apply to 
multiple radios. Rather than configuring each radio individually, you 
create a radio profile and apply it to multiple radios that you select. You 
can also create a radio profile as part of a policy and apply it to MAP 
access points on different WX switches.

The radio profile can contain RF Auto-Tuning settings and IEEE 802.11 
settings that control how the data is received and transmitted. You can 
select RF Auto-Tuning in the radio profile to apply AutoRF settings 
(enable or disable auto tuning of power and channels) to radios en masse 
via the radio profile. AutoRF enabled through the radio profile to multiple 
radios can be easily disabled, too, should you want to go to full RF 
planning. You can set specific IEEE 802.11 settings, such as beacon, DTIM 
intervals, and the fragment threshold to control how packets are 
transmitted.

For each service you want to provide, you configure the following items 
in a service profile:

„

The SSID name

„

SSID advertisement (whether the SSID name is beaconed)

„

Whether the SSID name is encrypted or clear (not encrypted)

„

Web page (if using WebAAA)

„

Multiple encryption choices (Dynamic/static WEP, WPA, WEP + WPA, 
802.11i)

The encryption type you use depends on the type of services you’re 
offering. Employee access is typically encrypted, guest access is typically 
clear (no encryption), and multi-host or “multiple virtualized services” 
service can be encrypted, with each SSID being matched with its own 
service profile. 

If services are being used for customer corporate entities (e.g. different 
airlines on an airport wireless net), then they would probably use 802.1X 
and strong encryption with web guest access for their airport club guests.
