Description:
This document describes how to change the 2.4-GHz or the 5-GHz mode on the wireless LAN access points of the LX and LW series operating with LCOS LX. It describes the procedure with LANconfig and with the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC).
Requirements:
- LANconfig as of version 10.40 (download)
- LCOS-LX as of version 5 (download)
- LANCOM Management Cloud
- LANCOM device of the LX- or LW series (e.g. LX-6402, LW-600)
Procedure:
1. Standalone access point with LANconfig:
1.1) Open the configuration of the device in LANconfig and go to the menu item Wireless-LAN → WLAN-Networks → Radio-Settings.
1.2) Select one of the two WLAN interfaces.
1.3) By default, the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz modes are set to Auto. This setting adapts the mode to the one suggested or preferred by the WLAN client.
1.4) Repeat these steps for the second WLAN interface, if applicable.
1.5) You can now write the configuration back to the device.
2. Using LANconfig for an access point managed by WLC:
2.1) Open the configuration of the WLC in LANconfig and navigate to the menu WLAN Controller → Profiles → Physical WLAN parameters.
2.2) Select the WLAN parameter profile that you have assigned to your managed LCOS-LX access points.
