5. Basic Wireless Tab
(See Figure 19)
Wireless On/Off: This control allows a TRIMAR AP to be switched On or Off. This is not the same as an on/off switch. It simply allows the wireless functions of the radio to be switched off for maintenance or other contingencies.
Visible SSID: The TRIMAR AP can support up to eight SSIDs simultaneously. Only one can be visible. This control is used to specify which SSID is to be made visible. Alternatively, the same control is used to make all the SSIDs invisible (choose “None”).
Transmission Rate: This control allows users to specify a data transmission rate. It is recommended that this should be left at the factory preset - Best (automatic). When turbo modes are enabled, transmission rates are doubled.
The following controls are inter-related:
802.11 Mode: | This control sets the TRIMAR AP’s 802.11 |
|
| operation mode. Note that if 802.11a is |
|
| selected, an antenna in the 5 GHz range is |
|
| required. All other modes require that the | Figure 19: Basic wireless controls |
| TRIMAR AP be equipped with a 2.4 Ghz | |
|
| |
| antenna. |
|
Adaptive Radio Selection: This box is checked by default and this enables the TRIMAR AP’s Adaptive Radio feature. This control enables the use of the TRIMAR’s Super A/G with Dynamic Turbo mode. It needs to be unchecked if the turbo mode is disabled or if other turbo modes are selected.
Super mode: This control determines which type of turbo mode the TRIMAR AP will use. See Table 2 for a full explanation of the choices. Turbo modes always use preset default channels.
