Important Notes
Cannot Set Channel on DFS-Enabled Radios
Access points with 5-GHz radios configured at the factory for use in Europe, Singapore, Korea, Japan,
Taiwan, and Israel now comply with regulations that require radio devices to use Dynamic Frequency
Selection (DFS) to detect radar signals and avoid interfering with them.You cannot manually set the
channel on DFS-enabled radios.

Cisco 7920 Phones Require Firmware Version 1.09 or Later When Multiple
BSSIDs Are Enabled
BSSIDs Are Enabled
When multiple BSSIDs are configured on the access point, Cisco 7920 wireless IP phones must run
firmware version 1.09 or later.
firmware version 1.09 or later.
AIR-RM21A/AIR-RM22A Radio Modules Usually Set to Max Transmit Power
AIR-RM21A and AIR-RM22A radio modules measure transmit power in decibels per milliwatt (dBm),
but earlier versions of 802.11a radios in Cisco Aironet access points measure power in milliwatts (mW).
Because power settings in mW do not translate directly to settings in dBm, the access point usually uses
the default power setting of maximum when you install a new AIR-RM21A or AIR-RM22A radio
module.

GRE Tunnelling Through WLSM Sometimes Requires MTU Setting Adjustments
If client devices on your wireless LAN cannot use certain network applications or cannot browse to
Internet sites, you might need to adjust the MTU setting on the client devices or other network devices.

TACACS+ and DHCP IP Address Sometimes Locks Out Administrators
When you configure an access point for TACACS+ administration and to receive an IP address from the
DHCP server, administrators might be locked out of the access point after it reboots if the administrator
does not have a local username and password configured on the access point. This issue does not affect
access points configured with a static IP address. Administrators who have been locked out must regain
access by using the to reset the unit to default settings.
