The 802.11b data rate and corresponding modulation techniques are shown in the table below. The modulation technique defines how bits are encoded onto radio waves.

802.11g Wireless LAN Standard

The ZyAIR, complies with the 802.11g wireless standard and is also fully compatible with the 802.11b standard. This means an 802.11b radio card can interface directly with an 802.11g device (and vice versa) at 11 Mbps or lower depending on range. 802.11g has several intermediate rate steps between the maximum and minimum data rates. The 802.11g data rate and modulation are as follows:.

MODULATION

 

 

6/9/12/18/24/36/48/54

OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)

 

 

Note: The ZyAIR may be prone to RF (Radio Frequency) interference from other 2.4 GHz devices such as microwave ovens, wireless phones, Bluetooth enabled devices, and other wireless LANs.

STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) / RSTP (Rapid STP)

(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a bridge to interact with other (R)STP-compliant bridges in your network to ensure that only one path exists between any two stations on the network.

WMM QoS

WMM (Wi-Fi MultiMedia) QoS (Quality of Service) allows you to prioritize wireless traffic according to the delivery requirements of the individual and applications.

Certificates

The ZyAIR can use certificates (also called digital IDs) to authenticate users. Certificates are based on public-private key pairs. Certificates provide a way to exchange public keys for use in authentication.
