802.11 b/g mode Specify b only , g only or b and g to define whether the
802.11b/g radio transmits in the 2.4 GHz band exclusively
for 802.11b (legacy) clients or transmits in the 2.4 Ghz
band for 802.11g clients. Selecting b and g enables the
Altitude 35xx to transmit to both b and g clients if legacy
clients (802.11b) partially comprise the network. Select
accordingly based on the MU requirements of the network.
This parameter does not apply to Altitude 35xx 802.11a
radios.
Set Rates Click the Set Rates button to display a window for
selecting minimum and maximum data transmit rates for
the radio. At least one
Basic Rate must be selected as a
minimum transmit rate value. Supported Rates define the
data rate the radio defaults to if a higher selected data rate
cannot be maintained. Click
OK to implement the selected
rates and return to the 802.11a or
802.11b/g radio configuration screen.
Clicking Cancel reverts the Set Rates screen to the last
saved configuration. Extreme Networks recommends using
the default rates unless qualified to understand the
performance risks of changing them. The appearance of
the Set Rates screen varies depending on the 802.11a or
802.11b/g used, as the dates rates available to the two
radios are different.
