Regulation Domain
IEEE 802.11b/g networks are regulated worldwide since these networks use the 2.4GHz ~ 2.5GHz ISM
(Instrumentation, Scientific, and Medical) Band. The WebSTAR DPW941 Wireless Ethernet Adapter is shipped
with a default regulation domain allowed in your country and location. The FCC (US) and ETSI (Europe) specify
operation from 2.4 GHz to 2.4835 GHz. For Japan, operation is specified as 2.4 GHz to 2.497 GHz. For each
supported regulatory domain, all channels marked with “Yes” are supported. The channel center frequencies and
channel ID (CH ID) numbers are shown in the following table.

In a multiple cell network topology, overlapping and/or adjacent cells using
different channels can operate simultaneously without interference if the distance
between the center frequencies is at least 30 MHz.
Important:
Channel 14 is specifically for operation in Japan.
