Configuring the Radios

The following table explains each parameter.
Parameter Explanation
Port Control Enables or disables the 802.11b port.
SSID (Network
Name) The 802.11b radio communicates with other 802.11b radios with the
same network name. Use this parameter to assign a network name to
the access point, and then assign the same network name to the wireless
end devices that will connect to the access point. The network name is
case-sensitive and can be no more than 32 alphanumeric characters.
Frequency The frequency is the particular frequency within the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz
range that the access point uses to transmit and receive packets. The
available frequencies are country-dependent and are determined by the
radio. This parameter is only available if this radio is a master radio.
Configure all access points used in Spain, France, or Japan to a
common frequency. For all other countries, you can configure all
access points to a common frequency, or you can select up to three
frequencies that are at least three channels (or 25 MHz) apart. You
could select 2412 MHz, 2437 MHz, and 2462 MHz, for example.
You may want to use a single frequency to isolate the installation to
part of the band; for example, use a single frequency if other DS
systems or multiple microwave ovens are in use in the area.
For optimal performance of access points that are within range of each
other, you should configure their frequencies to be five channels apart.
For example, you could configure the access points to use channels 1,
6, and 11.
Data/Voice Settings This parameter is only available if this radio is a master radio.
Set to Data Traffic Only if the access point will transmit only data
traffic.
Set to Voice Traffic Only if the access point will transmit only voice
traffic. MobileLAN™voice 2 telephone packets will be sent with a
priority setting. All other multicast/broadcast packets will be dropped.
Set to Data and Voice Traffic if the access point will transmit both data
and voice traffic. MobileLAN voice 2 telephone packets will be sent in
the high priority queue. Packets in the high priority queue are sent
ahead of packets in the normal priority queue. No special filtering.
