describes
the
fields
and
configuration
options
for
the
Radio
Settings
page.
Note:
The
DWL
‐
3600AP
supports
only
one
radio,
and
it
operates
in
the
2.4
GHz
band
(802.11b/g/n).
Some
fields
in
the
following
table
are
not
available
for
the
DWL
‐
3600AP.

Description
Radio
Select
Radio
1or
Radio
2
to
specify
which
radio
to
configure.
The
rest
of
the
settings
on
this
page
apply
to
the
radio
you
select
in
this
field.
Be
sure
to
configure
settings
for
both
radios.
Radio
1
operates
in
the
5
GHz
band
(802.11a/n),
and
Radio
2
operates
in
the
2.4
GHz
band
(802.11b/g/n).
Status
(On/Off)
Specify
whether
you
want
the
radio
on
or
off
by
clicking
On
or
Off
.
If
you
turn
off
a
radio,
the
AP
sends
disassociation
frames
to
all
the
wireless
clients
it
is
currently
supporting
so
that
the
radio
can
be
gracefully
shutdown
and
the
clients
can
start
the
association
process
with
other
available
APs.
Mode
The
Mode
defines
the
Physical
Layer
(
PHY
)
standard
the
radio
uses.
Note:
The
modes
available
depend
on
the
radio
selected.
Select
one
of
the
following
modes
for
radio
1
(DWL
‐
6600AP
and
DWL
‐
8600AP
only):
•
IEEE
802.11a
is
a
PHY
standard
that
specifies
operating
in
the
5
GHz
U
‐
NII
band
using
orthogonal
frequency
division
multiplexing
(OFDM).
It
supports
data
rates
ranging
from
6
to
54
Mbps.
•
IEEE
802.11a/n
operates
in
the
5
GHz
ISM
band
and
includes
support
for
both
802.11a
and
802.11n
devices.
IEEE
802.11n
is
an
extension
of
the
802.11
standard
that
includes
multiple
‐
input
multiple
‐
output
(MIMO)
technology.
IEEE
802.11n
supports
data
ranges
of
up
to
248
Mbps
and
nearly
twice
the
indoor
range
of
802.11
b,
802.11g,
and
802.11a.
•
5
GHz
IEEE
802.11n
is
the
recommended
mode
for
networks
with
802.11n
devices
that
operate
in
the
5
GHz
frequency
that
do
not
need
to
support
802.11a
devices.
IEEE
802.11n
can
achieve
a
higher
throughput
when
it
does
not
need
to
be
compatible
with
legacy
devices
(802.11a).

EEE
802.11b/g
operates
in
the
2.4
GHz
ISM
band.
IEEE
802.11b
is
an
enhancement
of
the
initial
802.11
PHY
to
include
5.5
Mbps
and
11
Mbps
data
rates.
It
uses
direct
sequence
spread
spectrum
(DSSS)
or
frequency
hopping
spread
spectrum
(FHSS)
as
well
as
complementary
code
keying
(CCK)
to
provide
the
higher
data
rates.
It
supports
data
rates
ranging
from
1
to
11
Mbps.
IEEE
802.11g
is
a
higher
speed
extension
(up
to
54
Mbps)
to
the
802.11b
PHY.
It
uses
orthogonal
frequency
division
multiplexing
(OFDM).
It
supports
data
rates
ranging
from
1
to
54
Mbps.
