System Configuration
Radio Channel – The radio channel that the access point uses
Normal Mode
to communicate with wireless clients. When multiple access
points are deployed in the same area, set the channel on
neighboring access points at least four channels apart to avoid
interference with each other. For example, in the United States
you can deploy up to four access points in the same area (e.g.,
channels 36, 56, 149, 165). Also note that the channel for
wireless clients is automatically set to the same as that used
by the access point to which it is linked. (Default: Channel 60
for normal mode, and channel 42 for Turbo mode)
Auto Channel Select – Enables the access point to
automatically select an unoccupied radio channel.
(Default: Enabled)
Note: Check your country’s regulations to see if Auto
Channel can be disabled.
Turbo Mode
Transmit Power – Adjusts the power of the radio signals
transmitted from the access point. The higher the transmission
power, the farther the transmission range. Power selection is
not just a trade off between coverage area and maximum
supported clients. You also have to ensure that high-power signals do not interfere
with the operation of other radio devices in the service area. (Options: 100%, 50%,
25%, 12%, minimum; Default: 100%)
Note: When operating the access point using 5 GHz channels in a European
Community country, the end user and installer are obligated to operate the device
in accordance with European regulatory requirements for Transmit Power Control
(TPC).
Maximum Supported Rate – The maximum data rate at which the access point
transmits unicast packets on the wireless interface. The maximum transmission
distance is affected by the data rate. The lower the data rate, the longer the
transmission distance. (Options: 54, 48, 36, 24 Mbps; Default: 54 Mbps)
Maximum Associated Clients – Sets the maximum number of clients that can be
associated with a VAP interface at the same time. (Range: 1-64 per VAP interface:
Default: 64)
Antenna ID – Selects the
antenna to be used by the
access point; either the
5 GHz integrated antenna
(if included with the unit) or
an optional external
antenna. The optional
external antennas (if any)
that are certified for use with the access point are listed in the drop-down menu.
Selecting the correct antenna ID ensures that the access point's radio transmissions
