HAPTER YSTEM ONFIGURATION
NOTE: . Check your country's regulations to see if Turbo Mode is allowed.
Super Mode – The Atheros proprietary Super A performance enhancements are
supported by the access point. These enhancements include bursting,
compression, and fast frames. Maximum throughput ranges between 40 to 60
Mbps for connections to Atheros-compatible clients. (Default: Disabled)
Auto Channel Select – Enables the access point to automatically select an
unoccupied radio channel. (Default: Enabled)
NOTE: Check your country's regulations to see if Auto Channel can be disabled.
Radio Channel – The radio channel that the bridge/access point uses to
communicate with other wireless bridges or clients. When multiple access points
are deployed in the same area, set the channel on neighboring access points to
different channels to avoid interference with each other. For example, in the
United States you can deploy 11a access points using adjacent channels (e.g.,
channels 36, 40, 44, 48) in the same area. For 11b/g access points, the
recommended channel separation for optimal performance is 5 in the United
States (e.g., channels 1, 6, 11). Also note that the channel for wireless clients is
automatically set to the same as that used by the access point to which it is
linked. (Default: Channel 42 for Turbo mode)
Antenna ID – Selects the antenna to be used by the access point; either the
integrated 802.11a antenna, or an optional external antenna. The optional
external antennas that are certified for use with the access point are listed in the
drop-down menu. Selecting the correct antenna ID ensures that the access
point's radio transmissions are within regulatory power limits for the country of
operation. (Default: 3Com Integrated Antenna)
NOTE: The 802.11b/g Antenna ID must be selected to enable the radio, and to
configure any of the Output Antenna options.
