The RF type of the WLAN interface can be configured to work in IEEE 802.11b only (
b Only
), IEEE
802.11g only (
g Only
), or mixed mode (
Mixed
—802.11g and 802.11b simultaneously).
The number of available RF channels depends on local regulations; therefore you have to choose an
appropriate regulatory domain to comply with local regulations. The SSID of a wireless client com-
puter and the SSID of the HD24613 must be identical for them to communicate with each other.
If there is RF interference, you may want to reduce the
Data rate
for more reliable wireless transmis-
sion. In most cases, leave the setting to
Auto
.
The transmit power of the RF module of the HD24613 can be adjusted so that the RF coverage of the
HD24613 can be changed.
3.5.1.2. Link Integrity
Fig. 31. Link integrity settings
When the Ethernet LAN interface is detected to be disconnected from the wired network, all currently
associated wireless clients are disassociated by the HD24613 and no wireless client can associate with
the HD24613. The detection mechanism is based on pinging the IP address specified in
Reference
host
.
3.5.1.3. Association Control
Fig. 32. Association control settings
If the number of currently associated wireless clients exceeds the value specified in the
Max number
of clients
setting, no more wireless client can associate with the HD24613. If traffic load of the
HD24613 exceeds the load specified in the
Block clients if traffic load exceeds
setting, no more
wireless client can associate with the HD24613.
3.5.1.4. Load Balancing
Several HD24613’s can form a load-balancing group if they are set with the same
Group ID
. The
load-balancing policy can be by
Number of Users
or by
Traffic Load
.
