Since the IEEE 802.11g-based IWE3200-His also IEEE 802.11b compatible, you can configure the Date rate setting to meet your backwards compatibility needs. If there is RF interference, you may want to reduce the Data rate for more reliable wireless transmission. In most cases, leave the setting to Auto.

The number of available RF channels depends on local regulations; therefore you have to choose an appropriate regulatory domain to comply with local regulations. The SSID of a wireless client com- puter and the SSID of the IWE3200-Hmust be identical for them to communicate with each other.

NOTE:

The Regulatory domain setting of the IWE3200-Hsold in the U.S. and Canada in not configurable. It’s set to FCC by default. As a result, only channels from 1 to 11 are available.

The transmit power of the RF module of the IWE3200-Hcan be adjusted so that the RF coverage of the IWE3200-Hcan be changed.

2.12.1.2. Wireless Distribution System

Fig. 70. Wireless Distribution System.

Traditionally, access points are connected by Ethernet. By Wireless Distribution System (WDS), APs can communicate with one another wirelessly. For example, in Fig. , the wireless access Router acts as an access point for the notebook computers and it forwards packets sent from the notebook com- puters to the AP/bridge through WDS. Then, the AP/bridge forwards the packets to the Ethernet LAN. Packets destined for the notebook computers follow a reverse path from the Ethernet LAN through the IWE3200-Hto the notebook computers. In this way, the IWE3200-Hplays a role of “AP repeater.”

NOTE:

The IWE3200-Hcan have up to 6 WDS links to other wireless AP/bridge.
