??Regulatory Domain - Displays the regulatory authorities in the relevant country of use (e.g., Canada, ETSI, FCC, Japan).

??Power - Displays the current output power level at the antenna port.

??ESSID - An ASCII string of up to 32 characters used to identify a WLAN that prevents the unintentional merging of two co-located WLANs. It is essential that the ESSID is set to the same value in all Remote Bridges and Base Units that should communicate with each other. The ESSID field is case-sensitive.

??Maximum data rate - By default, the unit adaptively selects the highest possible rate for transmission. Under certain conditions (for range/speed trade-off) you may decide not to use the higher rates. Possible values are 2, 5.5 or 11 Mbps. The default value is 11 Mbps.

??Transmit diversity - The antenna diversity option, which must be set to Antenna No. 1.

NOTE: In the present product release, antenna diversity is not supported; therefore, always select Antenna No. 1.
