7. Wireless Configuration
Navigate to
Configuration -> Wireless
to access the Wireless Configuration screen. This screen is
for initial parameter settings only (for client unit configuration, go to
Configuration -> Clients
).
The top screen shown below is for the base station and the bottom one is for the client unit:
Bandwidth
Allows selection of the bandwidth (BW), in MHz, of the RF network. Allowable options
are 20 MHz (Default) and 40 MHz.
If maximizing throughput at shorter distance is of primary importance, then larger bandwidth of 40
MHz may be more appropriate.
Both Base station and Client Unit must be configured with the same Bandwidth setting.
Frequency
Allows selection of the center frequency of the RF link, based on the model purchased,
region of operation and operating bandwidth. The Frequency parameter is available on Multipoint
unit only. On a Client unit, the radio will search across the available channels in order to find the
Base Station.
A sample frequency list for the US FCC version, is as follows:
Frequency
Bandwidth
5745 MHz
20 MHz
5765 MHz
20 MHz
5785 MHz
20 MHz
