Chapter 8 Wireless Configuration
The following table describes the general wireless LAN labels in this screen.
Table 23 Wireless: Access Point
LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
WLAN Interface | Select which WLAN adapter you want to configure. |
| It is recommended that you configure the first WLAN adapter for AP |
| functions and use the second WLAN adapter for bridge functions. |
| In addition, it is recommended that you set the WLAN interfaces into |
| different 802.11 modes. For example, set WLAN1 to 802.11b/g |
| (2.4 GHz) and set WLAN2 to 802.11a (5 GHz). |
|
|
Operating Mode | Select Access Point from the |
|
|
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. |
| If you are configuring both WLAN interfaces, it is recommended that |
| you set the WLAN interfaces into different 802.11 modes. For |
| example, set WLAN1 to 802.11b/g (2.4 GHz) and set WLAN2 to |
| 802.11a (5 GHz). |
|
|
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 | Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular |
ID | region. |
| To manually set the NWA to use a channel, select a channel from the |
| |
| Usage tab to open the Channel Usage screen to make sure the |
| channel is not already used by another AP or independent |
| peer wireless network. |
| To have the NWA automatically select a channel, click Auto |
| Selection instead. |
