Chapter 16: Configuring 802.11 Radio Settings
Understanding Radio Settings
The following sections describe how to configure 802.11 Radio Settings on the
9160 G2 Wireless Gateway:
16.1 Understanding Radio Settings
Radio settings directly control the behaviour of the radio device in the access point,
and its interaction with the physical medium; that is, how/what type of electromag-
netic waves the AP emits. You can specify whether the radio is on or off, radio
frequency (RF) broadcast channel, beacon interval (amount of time between AP
beacon transmissions), transmit power, IEEE 802.11 mode in which the radio oper-
ates, and so on.
The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway comes configured as a dual-band access point with
one radio.
The access point is capable of broadcasting in the following modes:
• IEEE 802.11b mode.
• IEEE 802.11g mode.
• IEEE 802.11a mode.
• Atheros Turbo 5 GHz.
• Atheros Dynamic Turbo 5 GHz.
• Atheros Turbo 2.4 GHz.
• Atheros Dynamic Turbo 2.4 GHz.
• Extended Range.
Important: Psion Teklogix terminals do not support Atheros Turbo modes
and to prevent unnecessary radio overhead the use of Turbo mode
is not recommended.
The IEEE mode, along with other radio settings, are configured as described in
“Navigating To Radio Settings” on page 164 and “Configuring Radio Settings” on
page 165.
