Getting Started
— Frequency Channel: When Auto Channel Select is enabled, this field is read-only and displays the
Access Point’s current operating channel. When Auto Channel Select is disabled, you can specify the
Access Point’s operating channel. If you decide to manually set the unit’s channel, ensure that nearby
devices do not use the same frequency (unless you are setting up a WDS). Available Channels vary
based on regulatory domain. See
802.11b Channel Frequencies .
— Distance Between APs: Set to Large, Medium, Small, Microcell, or Minicell depending on the site
survey for your system. The distance value is related to the Multicast Rate (described next). In general, a
larger distance between APs means that your clients operate a slower data rates (on average). See
Distance Between APs for more information.
