5 Configuring Access Point Settings

The difference between the IEEE 802.11 modes is the frequency in which they operate. IEEE 802.11g operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency, and IEEE 802.11a operates in the 5 GHz frequency of the radio spectrum.

You configure the default radio settings from the Administration > Basic Setup > Radio tab, which Figure 36 shows.

NOTE:The radio settings for the IEEE 802.11g radio are directly below the settings for the IEEE 802.11a radio.When the profile is applied to the DWL-3500AP, only the settings for the IEEE 802.11g radio are applied.
