Ericsson W3X manual Region, Radio Channel, Transmit Power dBm, Data Rate

Configuration and Management

3.6.2Region

Wireless devices are thoroughly regulated and the countries have slightly different regulations. Therefore, the geographical region where the Ericsson W3x is used must be stated to make sure the correct radio frequencies are used when transmitting data.

Select the geographical region in which you reside from the “Region” drop- down list and click Apply to save the setting.

3.6.3Radio Channel

The radio channel must be in accordance with the previous set region and only channels that are allowed in the configured region are available in the “Radio channel” drop-down list.

By selecting “Auto” (recommended) the radio in the Ericsson W3x will automatically scan each valid channel and choose the one with least interference.

Select either “Auto” or a specific channel number from the “Radio channel” drop-down list and click Apply to save the setting.

3.6.4Transmit Power [dBm]

To avoid interference with other wireless networks, the transmit power level can be reduced. If you want to change the transmit power level according to your specific conditions, select an appropriate level from the “Transmit power [dBm]” drop-down list and click Apply to save the setting.

3.6.5Data Rate

According to wireless LAN standards and the IEEE 802.11 protocols there are different data rates available for different modes. From the “Data rate” drop down list there are the following modes available:

•B-Mode Only (supporting IEEE 802.11b clients with a maximum data rate of 11 Mbit/s)

•G-Mode Only (supporting IEEE 802.11g clients with a maximum data rate of 54 Mbit/s)

•B/G-Mixed Mode (supporting both IEEE 802.11b/g clients as described above)

•Legacy B-Mode (supporting IEEE 82.11b legacy clients).
