of radio installed in the mobile device.

 

A radio:

Options:

 

BGA Rates Full

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

 

 

• ABG Rates Full (All A rates and all B and G rates with A rates

 

 

preferred)

 

 

• BGA Rates Full (All B and G rates and all A rates with B and G rates

 

 

preferred)

 

 

• Ad Hoc (when connecting to another client device instead of an AP

 

 

Default:

 

 

• BG Rates Full (for 802.11b/g radios)

 

 

• BGA Rates Full (for 802.11a/b/g radio)

 

 

Note:

 

 

 

It is important the Radio Mode parameter correspond to the Access Point (AP) to which the device is to connect. For example, if this parameter is set to G rates only, the MX9 may only connect to APs set for G rates and not those set for B and G rates.

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