2.6.1Radio Channels

There are 13 regulatory radio channels predefined for the transportation of data in a wireless LAN. Local regulations determine which of these channels that can be used by the Ericsson W20.

The following settings concerning radio frequencies are displayed and possible to modify on the Wireless LAN page:

Region	The country domain, which is one of the
	following:
	Europe
	US
	Canada
	South Africa
	Australia
	New Zeeland
	Malaysia
	Singapore
Radio channel	The radio channel for wireless LAN
	communication, either
	Auto (default) or
	1-13
Transmit power [dBm]	The radio transmission level that
	determines the signal range:
	0-20
	Default is 20.

To make sure the Ericsson W20 operates on correct radio frequencies according to local regulations, you have to state in which region you reside. After this you cannot select any radio channel which would be against the local regulations. Select your country domain from the Region list on the Wireless LAN page.

Use the Radio channel list to select which one of the allowed radio channels to use, or select Auto to let the Ericsson W20 automatically select a channel (recommended).
