|
|
802.11 Mode | This makes sure that only compliant WLAN devices can associate |
| with the NWA. |
| Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant |
| WLAN devices to associate with the NWA. |
| Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant |
| WLAN devices to associate with the NWA. |
| Select 802.11b/g to allow both IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g |
| compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NWA. The |
| transmission rate of your NWA might be reduced. |
| Select 802.11a to allow only IEEE 802.11a compliant WLAN |
| devices to associate with the NWA. |
|
|
Super Mode | Select this to improve data throughput on the WLAN by enabling |
| fast frame and packet bursting. |
|
|
Disable channel | This field displays only when you select 802.11a in the 802.11 |
switching for DFS | Radio Mode field. Select this if you do not want to use DFS |
| (Dynamic Frequency Selection). |
| DFS (dynamic frequency selection) allows an AP to detect other |
| devices in the same channel. If there is another device using the |
| same channel, the AP changes to a different channel, so that it |
| can avoid interference with radar systems or other wireless |
| networks. |
|
|
Choose Channel ID | Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your |
| particular region. |
| To manually set the NWA to use a channel, select a channel from |
| the |
| Channel Usage tab to open the Channel Usage screen to make |
| sure the channel is not already used by another AP or |
| independent |
| To have the NWA automatically select a channel, click Auto |
| Selection instead. |
|
|
Disable DCS to unlock | This appears if the DCS feature is enabled. |
| Click this to disable DCS and select a channel ID manually. |
| DCS is Disabled by default |
| If the NWA is configured in Controller AP mode, it is |
| recommended that you enable Dynamic Channel Selection |
| (DCS). This allows the NWA to select channels with less |
| intereference for Managed APs. |
