802.11 b/g mode Specify b only, g only or b and g to define whether the 802.11b/
g radio transmits in the 2.4 Ghz band exclusively for 802.11b
(legacy) clients or transmits in the 2.4 Ghz band for 802.11g clients.
Selecting b and g enables the access point to transmit to both b and
g clients if legacy clients (802.11b) partially comprise the network.
Select accordingly based on the MU requirements of the network.
This parameter does not apply to access point 802.11a radios.
Set Rates Click the Set Rates button to display a window for selecting
minimum and maximum data transmit rates for the radio. At least
one Basic Rate must be selected as a minimum transmit rate
value. Supported Rates define the data rate the radio defaults to
if a higher selected data rate cannot be maintained. Click OK to
implement the selected rates and return to the 802.11a or
802.11b/g radio configuration screen.
Clicking Cancel reverts the Set Rates screen to the last saved
configuration. Motorola recommends using the default rates
unless qualified to understand the performance risks of changing
them. The appearance of the Set Rates screen varies depending on
the 802.11a or 802.11b/g used, as the dates rates available to the
two radios are different.
