Specify 802.11a, 802.11b and/or 802.11g rates when communicating with the AP. The options dis-

 

 

played for this parameter depend on the type of radio (802.11b/g or 802.11a/b/g)installed in the mobile

 

 

device.

 

 

Options:

 

 

B rates only (1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbps)

 

 

BG Rates Full (All B and G rates)

 

 

G rates only (6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps)

 

 

BG optimized or BG subset (1, 2, 5.5, 6, 11, 24, 36 and 54 Mbps)

A radio:

It is important the Radio Mode parameter correspond to the AP to which the device is to connect.

 

BGA

For example, if this parameter is set to G rates only, the HX2 may only connect to APs set for G

The options for the Radio Mode parameter should be set, based on the antenna configuration, as fol-
