● Alternative DFS Channel
If you have enabled the "DFS" function on the Basic Wizard page "Radio Settings", specify
the alternative channel here. If you want the access point to search for a free channel itself,
use "Auto". If you want to use a fixed channel, select the required channel in the drop-down
list.
● Channel Width [MHz]
You can only specify the channel bandwidth with the IEEE 802.11n and IEEE 802.11ac
transmission standards.
The following settings are possible.
– 20 MHz
– 40 MHz
Only with IEEE 802.11ac:
– 80 MHz
– 160 MHz (not with SCALANCE W1788-2IA M12)
There are only enough channels available for operation at 160 MHz if DFS is activated.
Table 2 contains the following columns:
● Port
Shows the first VAP interface per WLAN interface.
● SSID
Enter the SSID. The length of the character string for SSID it is 1 to 32 characters.
The ASCII code 0x20 to 0x7e is used for the SSID.
After completing the Basic Wizard, you can define further SSIDs with "Interfaces > WLAN
> Access Point Settings".
