Parameter

Explanation

 

 

 

 

Frequency

Choose the frequency within the 5.15 to 5.35

(Master radio only)

GHz range that this access point uses to transmit

 

and receive frames. You can also set the

 

frequency to Dynamic, which lets the access

 

point choose the best available channel to use.

 

The available frequencies depend on the country

 

and the radio option configured on the access

 

point. See the Table 38, ”Worldwide Frequencies

 

for the 802.11a Radio” on page 123. If the radio is

 

a mid range radio, you can only choose 52, 56,

 

60, or 64.

 

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.

to this radio entirely.
