This is the current radio channel in the selected domain.

 

 

 

Channel

 

This is settable when in airClient Bridge mode, user need to enter

 

 

 

the same channel as the Root device from the pull-down list.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The radio channel settings correspond to the frequencies

 

 

 

 

available in the user regulatory domain.

 

 

 

Rates

 

This indicates the current rate at which the radio is operating,

 

 

 

 

which can be set as desired by the user.

 

 

 

Auto Rate

 

Allows radio to fall back to lower data rate.

Dial a Power

 

Dial a Power is used to set the output power of the radio at the N

 

 

 

 

Connector.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The valid radio power range is from -5 dBm to 23 dBm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Antenna Gain

 

This is a gain of an antenna attached with the airHaul unit. The

 

 

 

gain input here is merely for the purpose of display and

 

 

 

 

calculation of the EIRP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

User can select anywhere between 2.2dBi to 30 dBi.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RF cable Loss

 

This refers to the loss of a cable connecting antenna to the

 

 

 

airHaul unit

2.9.2. Data Encryption

Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption is used for security between the airClient and the airPoint or any other access point radio. To enable/disable WEP or change the relevant settings, you need to access the encryption setting page on the web interface. The following table describes the information for the Data Encryption.

Authentication

Select authentication method between open system and shared key

 

 

 

Open system: Open System is null authentication. With WEP enabled

 

 

 

and valid WEP key on both ends, it provides data encryption. Clients

 

 

 

without correct WEP key still can associate but can not send packet

 

 

 

through.

 

 

 

Shared key: Strict authentication for both authentication and data

 

 

 

encryption. Clients must provide valid WEP key to associate

 

 

WEP

Enable /Disable WEP Encryption

 

 

 

 

 

 

WEP Key Type

HEX

 

 

 

 

 

WEP Key Size

Choose encryption key size between 64bits and 128bits

 

 

64 bits: User has to input 10 HEX digits.
