Rate

are transmitted by the NWH660. In high-interference

 

environments a lower rate can increase overall

 

transmission speed by reducing resends of lost

 

packets

 

Basic Rates

This value determines the basic rates used and

 

reported for this BSS by the NWH660. The highest

 

rate specified is the rate that the NWH660 will use

 

when transmitting broadcast/multicast and

 

management frames.

 

Available options are:

 

1 and 2 Mbps

 

All (1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps)

 

 

Channel

You can change the channel number from here.

Number

Refer to the Appendix, page 73, for channels

 

supported in each regulatory domain.

 

If the “auto” option is selected, the access point can

 

choose the best available radio channel automatically.

Regulatory

Identifies the country where the NWH660 is used.

Domain

Each country has defined its available channel

 

numbers and transmission power (see Appendix, page

 

73)

 

 

Important:

In a multiple cell network topology, overlapping and/or adjacent cells using different channels can operate simultaneously without interference if the difference between the center frequencies is at least 30 MHz. For example, channels 1, 7, and 13 are non-overlapping frequency channels.
