5.4.1 Link Profiles
The Link Profiles feature enables you to create wireless profiles on a per link basis. 
These link profiles help to determine the wireless transmission properties (Tx data rate, TPC, Tx antenna ports) of a WORP link.
On SU, it determines the transmission properties of all the transmitted packets.
On BSU, it determines the transmission properties of all the unicast packets.
On BSU, it determines the transmission properties of all the broadcast/multicast and announcement packets by 
considering all the active link properties and active profiles. While sending broadcast messages, BSU considers the 
most viable wireless parameters (Tx Rate, Data Streams and TPC) so that all the connected SUs receive the message.
In point-to-multipoint (BSU and SU) devices, you can create a maximum of eight link profiles including the default
pre-configured profile. Profiles that are created on the BSU are mapped to the SUs, and vice versa. If BSU/SU is not mapped to
any configured profile, it will be mapped to the default profile.
The point-to-point (Quick Bridges) devices support only one link profile.
: When working with multiple link profiles with varying data rates, the overall wireless network performance gets 
affected. To optimize the overall network performance, use QoS.
To create a link profile, navigate to ADVANCED CONFIGURATION > Wireless > Link Profiles. The Link Profiles screen
appears:
Figure 5-26 Link Profiles
In the Link Profiles screen, you can add, edit and delete the link profiles. 
The default profile can be modified to suit the network requirements. However, it is possible that one profile may not be able
to satisfy the requirements of all the WORP links (due to different operating conditions, link distance etc). In such a case,
additional link profiles can be defined and associated with respective links appropriately (refer 
 on how to
associate profile to a link).
: On upgrade from prior software versions, the WORP link configurations are copied to the Default link 
profile.
