Radio Interface
The IEEE 802.11a radio interface includes configuration options for radio signal
characteristics and wireless security features.
Note:
The radio channel settings for the wireless bridge are limited by local
regulations, which determine the number of channels that are available.
Radio Settings (802.11a)
The IEEE 802.11a interface operates within the 5 GHz band, at up to 54 Mbps in
normal mode or up to 108 Mbps in Turbo mode.
Enable – Enables radio communications on the wireless bridge. (Default: Enable)
Description – Adds a comment or description to the wireless interface. (Range: 1-80
characters)
Secure Access – When enabled, the bridge radio does not include its SSID in
beacon messages. Nor does it respond to probe requests from other bridges that do
not include a fixed SSID. (Default: Enable)
Turbo Mode – The normal 802.11a wireless operation mode provides connections
up to 54 Mbps. Turbo Mode is an enhanced mode (not regulated in IEEE 802.11a)
that provides a higher data rate of up to 108 Mbps. Enabling Turbo Mode allows the
wireless bridge to provide connections up to 108 Mbps. (Default: Disable)
