Table 33. 802.11b Radio Parameter Descriptions

Parameter	Description
Node Type	Configure the 802.11b radio as a master or
	station. You can also disable the radio.
SSID	Enter the SSID (network name) for this radio. The
(Network Name)	network name is case sensitive and can be no
	more than 32 alphanumeric characters.
	802.11b radios communicate with other 802.11b
	radios with the same SSID.
	You need to assign the same SSID to the
	wireless end devices that will connect to the
	radio.
Frequency	Choose the frequency within the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz
(Master radio only)	range that this access point uses to transmit and
	receive frames. The available frequencies are
	country-dependent and are determined by the
	radio. See the Table 30, ”Worldwide Frequencies
	for 802.11g and 802.11b Radios” on page 101.
	Configure all access points used in Spain,
	France, or Japan to a common frequency. For all
	other countries, configure all access points to a
	common frequency, or select up to three
	frequencies that are at least three channels (or 25
	MHz) apart. For example, you could select 2412
	MHz, 2437 MHz, and 2462 MHz. You may want
	to use a single frequency to isolate the installation
	to part of the band; for example, use a single
	frequency if other wireless networks or
	microwave ovens are in the area.
	For optimal performance of master radios in
	access points that are in range of each other,
	configure the frequencies to be at least five
	channels apart. For example, configure the
	frequency to use channels 1, 6, and 11.
