MAC Addresses | Indicates the Media Access Control (MAC) addresses for the interface. | |
(Shown on | On the dual band AP only, the MAC addresses for Radio Interface One | |
(Internal/Guest) and Radio Interface Two (Internal/Guest) are shown. | ||
only) | ||
A MAC address is a permanent, unique hardware address for any device | ||
| ||
| that represents an interface to the network. The MAC address is assigned | |
| by the manufacturer. | |
| You cannot change the MAC address. It is provided here for informational | |
| purposes as a unique identifier for an interface. | |
|
| |
Mode | The Mode defines the Physical Layer (PHY) standard being used by the | |
| radio. | |
| The Gateway 7001 AP is available in a dual band and single band version. | |
| The configuration options for Mode differ depending on which product you | |
| have. | |
| ||
| For the | |
| • IEEE 802.11b | |
| • IEEE 802.11g | |
| ||
| For the dual band access point, select a mode for each Radio Interface. | |
| For Radio Interface One, select either of these modes: | |
| • IEEE 802.11b | |
| • IEEE 802.11g | |
| For Radio Interface Two, select either of these modes: | |
| • IEEE 802.11a | |
| • Atheros Turbo 5 GHz (IEEE 802.11a Turbo) | |
|
| |
Channel | Select the Channel. The range of channels and the default is determined | |
| by the Mode of the radio interface. | |
| The Channel defines the portion of the radio spectrum the radio uses for | |
| transmitting and receiving. Each mode offers a number of channels, | |
| dependent on how the spectrum is licensed by national and international | |
| authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or the | |
| International Telecommunication Union | |
| The default is Auto, which picks the least busy channel at startup time, out | |
| of the allowed channels. | |
