Figure 42 – Basic Wireless Settings with DCA enabled
Radio
– specifying which wireless interface of BW1251 is shown.
Domain
– showing the regulatory domain.
Static Channel / Auto Channel
– showing the channel that the access point will use to transmit and
receive information.
If DCA (Dynamic Channel Allocation) is enabled, this will show Auto Channel and
its channel number is chosen by auto channel selection.
If use static channel, this will show Static Channel and its channel number.
DCA (Dynamic Channel Allocation) is a very useful feature to help choosing the
best channel automatically and reduce interference among many Access Points.
Band
– showing the working band on the working radio.
Five bands are supplied: 5GHz (11a), 2.4GHz (Mixed 11g), 2.4GHz (11g only), 2.4GHz (Mixed
11g WiFi) and 2.4GHz (11g only WiFi).
2.4GHz (Mixed 11g) or 2.4GHz (11g only)
– the radio will work on 2.4GHz for the better
performance. 2.4GHz (11g only) mode only allows 11g client access. 2.4GHz (Mixed 11g) mode
allows 11b/11g client access.
2.4GHz (Mixed 11g WiFi) or 2.4GHz (11g only WiFi)
– making sure to comply with Wi-Fi.
5GHz (11a)
– the radio will work on 5GHz 11a mode.
Output Power
- indicating output power of the RF card in dBm, antenna gain is not included.
Antenna
– The device use external antenna and it doesn’t change for BW1251.
RTS Threshold
– showing the value of RTS threshold. The default is 2347, which means that RTS is
disabled.
DCA threshold
– showing the value (in minutes) of DCA threshold. This threshold is used to judge if
there is no wireless users connected during this time. And if yes, BW1251 will monitor the
environment and adjust channel to the best operational one.
