• Regulatory Domain
For the operation of the access client, country-specific
regulations referring to the selectable channels have to be
observed. Specify the country or region where the device is to be
operated.
• Channel
Select a channel from the list of the available channels. Clients
log on to the channel of the access point if they support this
channel according to their country-specific settings. The factory-
set value is channel 6. If you wish to use channels 12 and 13,
please make sure beforehand that the corresponding clients do
support these channels and that the correct regulatory domain
has been selected. As a rule, this applies to products which can
also be operated in the USA, since there only channels 1 to 11 are
admitted.
Note: The number of the available channels is not identical for all
devices. You should therefore also refer to the technical
documentation for your product. As a rule, channels 1 to 11 are
mostly available.
• Transmission Rate
The transmission rate should be adapted to your wireless
network. As a rule, this is done automatically. Under certain
circumstances, however, it is necessary to do this according to
the procedure described below. The range of a wireless network
decreases with higher data rates and increases with lower data
rates.
