Note

Extreme Networks provides defaults for each item in this section. The following steps are optional.
  1. Go to Configure > Common Objects > Policy > Radio Profiles.
  2. Select an existing radio profile, and then select Edit, or select Add.
  3. Expand the Advanced Settings section.
  4. Select Auto (Short/Long) to enable support for short preambles or Long to disable short preamble support.
  5. Set the period during which APs send beacons.
  6. Set the Guard Interval to 800 nanoseconds by deselecting Enable Short Guard Interval.
  7. To no longer combine data frames into larger frames before transmission, clear the check box for Enable MAC Aggregate Protocol Data Units.
  8. Select Enable Frame Burst so a wireless client will transmit a burst sequence of up to three packets without releasing control of the transmission medium.
  9. Select Enable Transmit Beamforming to improve data transfer rates for directional signal transmission processing.
  10. Select Enable MU-MIMO to enable multiple users to receive data using different simultaneous spatial streams from an AP transmit radio chain.
  11. If you selected Enable MU-MIMO, set Station Receive Chain to Auto or 1, which is the chain the AP uses to receive data from the wireless client.
  12. If you are using 802.11ax radios, enable ODFMA.
  13. If you selected Enable ODFMA, select Uplink or Downlink.
  14. If you are using 802.11ax radios, enable BSS Coloring.
  15. If you selected Enable BSS Coloring, enter the numerical value of the new BSS color the AP will transmit after surpassing the beacon threshold.
  16. Select Enable Target Wake Time to enable an AP to minimize medium contention between stations, and to reduce the required amount of time that a station in the power-save mode needs to be awake.
  17. Select SAVE RADIO PROFILE.
