How to avoid radio config hell at off-season events?

[Mark McLeod]

At an FMS-Lite off-season, I usually enlist several known and trusted network competent team mentors to make the rounds of the pits programming the individual team DLinks. Colored tape is placed over the Bridge/AP switch, so field/pit crew can see at a glance that the DLink has been configured or not.
They also instruct the teams on the importance of maintaining the Bridge setting, as well as how to reset the DLink for home use again after the event.

I also keep InSSIDer running to spot pop-up conflicts for the field AP, and I pick channels (e.g., 11) on the field AP to make it more obvious.
