5G/6G Radio Profile

Context

A 5G/6G radio profile is used to configure and optimize the 5G/6G radio of an AP, but does not take effect on the 2G radio. Create a proper radio profile and bind it to an AP specific profile or AP group. In this way, the AP provides better radio signal transmit and receive capabilities.

Procedure

Create a 5G/6G radio profile.

Choose Configuration > Wireless Services > Profile > Radio Management > 5G/6G Radio Profile. The 5G/6G Radio Profile List page is displayed.
Click Create. The Create 5G/6G Radio Profile page is displayed.
Enter the name of the new 5G/6G radio profile in Profile name.
To copy all parameters from another profile to the new profile, select the name of the profile in Copy parameters from other profiles. If None is selected, parameters are not copied from another profile.
Click OK. The parameter setting page of the new 5G/6G radio profile is displayed.

Set parameters for the 5G/6G radio profile. Table 1 describes the parameters for creating a 5G/6G radio profile.

**Table 1** Parameters for creating a 5G/6G radio profile
Parameter	Description
5G/6G Radio Profile	Name of the 5G/6G radio profile, which cannot be modified.
Radio type	Radio type.
Automatically disable radio	Whether to enable the automatic shutdown function of a radio.
Automatic disabling time	Start time and end time during which a VAP is disabled.
Meanings of Wi-Fi indicator status	Parameter reflected by the blinking frequency of the Wireless indicator. Signal strength: The blinking frequency of the Wireless indicator on an AP indicates the signal strength. When the Wireless indicator blinks fast, the signal strength is strong. Service traffic: The blinking frequency of the Wireless indicator on an AP indicates the service traffic volume. When the Wireless indicator blinks fast, the service traffic volume is high.
Channel switching announcement	Whether channel switching announcement is enabled.
Channel switching announcement mode	Channel switching announcement mode. Stop traffic transmission: stops data transmission from STAs on the current channel during channel switching. Proceed traffic transmission: continues data transmission on the current channel during channel switching.
Packet-based power control	Whether per-packet power control is enabled.
RTS-CTS mode	RTS/CTS operation mode, which can be: Rts-cts: When an AP needs to send data to a STA, the AP sends an RTS packet to all STAs associated with it. After receiving the RTS packet, none of the devices within the AP's coverage area sends data within a specified period. After the destination STA receives the RTS packet, it sends a CTS packet. After receiving the CTS packet, none of the devices within the STA's coverage area sends data within a specified period. Using the rts-cts mode to avoid conflicts requires two packets (RTS and CTS packets), increasing packet overhead. Disable: disables RTS-CTS.
Beacon interval	Interval at which an AP sends Beacon frames.
GI mode	Guard interval mode. Short: short guard interval Normal: normal guard interval
Beamforming	Whether beamforming is enabled.
Utmost power	Whether a radio sends packets at the maximum power. Only radios of the AD9431DN-24X (including the mapping RUs), AD9430DN-24 (including the mapping RUs), AD9430DN-12 (including the mapping RUs), AP2030DN, AP4030DN, AP4130DN, AP5030DN, AP5130DN, AP7030DE, AP8030DN, AP8130DN, AP9131DN, AP9132DN and AP9330DN can send packets at maximum power.
Self-adaptive polarization of agile antennas	Self-adaptive polarization of agile antennas.
CCA threshold	Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) threshold for APs.
A-MPDU	Whether to enable Aggregation MAC Protocol Data Unit (A-MPDU) .
A-MSDU	Whether to enable the device to send packets in Aggregate MAC Service Data Unit (A-MSDU) mode.
Reserved bandwidth ratio for VIP users	Ratio of the bandwidth reserved for VIP users.
802.11a Rate Set
Basic rate (Mbps)	Basic rate set of 802.11a.
Supported rate (Mbps)	Supported rate set of 802.11a.
Multicast rate (Mbps)	Multicast rate of wireless packets on the 5 GHz radio.
802.11ax
GI mode	Mode of guard interval (GI).
Radio Environment Detection
Radio environment detection	Whether to enable interference detection.
AP co-channel interference alarm threshold	Alarm threshold for co-channel interference.
AP adjacent-channel interference alarm threshold	Alarm threshold for adjacent-channel interference.
STA interference alarm threshold (STA count)	Alarm threshold for STA interference.
WMM
WMM	Whether to enable WMM.
Restrict access of non-WMM terminals	Whether to allow WMM-incapable STAs to connect to a WMM-enabled AP.
Smart Antenna
Antenna training	Whether to enable the antenna training function for an AP.
Antenna training interval	Smart antenna training interval.
Lower valid PER threshold	Lower valid PER threshold.
Upper valid PER threshold	Upper valid PER threshold.
Throughput-triggered training threshold	Sudden performance change threshold for triggering smart antenna training.
Number of training packets	Number of air interface packets sent from an AP to STAs during smart antenna training.
