A Field Office Example

He sets the channel at 36, and notes the number. Access Ports channels should be separated as much as practical to minimize interference between them. The other engineering Access Port will use channel 48 and the marketing Access Port will use channel 60. He then sets the power level at the maximum setting of 100mW.

Leo leaves the Slowest Supported Rate and the Fastest Supported Rate as they are. The switch will operate at the maximum rate allowed by radio conditions, scaling back as needed. He sees no reason to change those parameters.

He also sees no reason to change the Antenna Diversity setting, Short Preamble setting, the RTS Threshold, or the Beacon Settings. These parameters control some of the broadcast mechanics of an 802.11 conversation between mobile units and Access Ports. In most cases, there is no reason to change them.

He clicks the Apply button to save his changes.

Leo then selects AP2, the second engineering Access Port. He gives it a new name, a location, and assigns it channel 48.
