Radio ID: An 8-bit value representing the radio to configure.
Config Type:
0 = Automatic
Occupancy Limit: This attribute indicates the maximum amount of
time, in Time Units (TUs), that a point coordinator MAY control
the usage of the wireless medium without relinquishing control for
long enough to allow at least one instance of Distributed
Coordination Function (DCF) access to the medium. The default
value of this attribute SHOULD be 100, and the maximum value
SHOULD be 1000.
CFP Period: The attribute describes the number of DTIM intervals
between the start of Contention-Free Periods (CFPs).
CFP Maximum Duration: The attribute describes the maximum duration
of the CFP in TU that MAY be generated by the Point Coordination
Function (PCF).
BSSID: The WLAN Radio's base MAC address. For WTPs that support
more than a single WLAN, the value of the WLAN Identifier is added
to the last octet of the BSSID. Therefore, a WTP that supports 16
WLANs MUST have 16 MAC addresses reserved for it, and the last
nibble is used to represent the WLAN ID.
Beacon Period: This attribute specifies the number of TUs that a
station uses for scheduling Beacon transmissions. This value is
transmitted in Beacon and Probe Response frames.
Country Code: This attribute identifies the country in which the
station is operating. The first two octets of this string is the
two-character country code as described in document ISO/IEC 3166-
1. The third octet MUST be one of the following:
1. an ASCII space character, if the regulations under which the
station is operating encompass all environments in the country,
2. an ASCII 'O' character, if the regulations under which the station
is operating are for an outdoor environment only, or
/* DTIM Period: This attribute specifies the number of Beacon
intervals that elapses between transmission of Beacons frames
containing a TIM element whose DTIM Count field is 0. This value
is transmitted in the DTIM Period field of Beacon frames.

91. AC Name with Index
Same as AC Name with Priority, defined in CAPWAP RFC 5415.
The AC Name with Priority message element is sent by the AC to the
WTP to configure preferred ACs. The number of instances of this
message element is equal to the number of ACs configured on the WTP.
The WTP also uses this message element to send its configuration to
the AC.

Priority: A value between 1 and 255 specifying the priority order
of the preferred AC. For instance, the value of one (1) is used
to set the primary AC, the value of two (2) is used to set the
secondary, etc.
AC Name: A variable-length UTF-8 encoded string [RFC3629]
containing the AC name, whose maximum size MUST NOT exceed 512
bytes.

=====
In this section Cisco vendor specific message elements used in LWAPP
are listed.
Some of these elements are used by Cisco in CAPWAP where the
vendor specific LWAPP message element is encapsulated in a vendor
specific CAPWAP message element. So in CAPWAP we see headers like
this:
Vendor spec CAPWAP | Vedor spec LWAPP | Vendor specific LWAPP data
