Output Antenna – Specifies the ID number of an approved antenna that is
connected to the access point. The options are:
802.11a (5 GHz):
Original 3Com Integrated Antenna
3CWE591 3Com 6/8dBi Dual-Band Omni Antenna
3CWE596 3Com 18/20dBi Dual-Band Panel Antenna
3CWE598 3Com 8/10dBi Dual-Band Panel Antenna
802.11b/g (2.4 GHz):
Original None external antenna
3CWE591 3Com 6/8dBi Dual-Band Omni Antenna
3CWE596 3Com 18/20dBi Dual-Band Panel Antenna
3CWE598 3Com 8/10dBi Dual-Band Panel Antenna
Transmit Power – Adjusts the power of the radio signals transmitted from the
access point. The higher the transmission power, the farther the transmission
range. Power selection is not just a trade off between coverage area and
maximum supported clients. You also have to ensure that high-power signals do
not interfere with the operation of other radio devices in the service area.
(Options: 100%, 50%, 25%, 12%, minimum; Default: 100%)
NOTE: When operating the access point using 5 GHz channels in a European
Community country, the end user and installer are obligated to operate the device
in accordance with European regulatory requirements for Transmit Power Control
(TPC).
Maximum Transmit Data Rate – The maximum data rate at which the access point
transmits unicast packets on the wireless interface. The maximum transmission
distance is affected by the data rate. The lower the data rate, the longer the
transmission distance. (Options: 54, 48, 36, 24 Mbps; Default: 54 Mbps)
Maximum Multicast Data Rate – The maximum data rate at which the access
point transmits multicast and broadcast packets on the wireless interface.
(Options: 24, 12, 6 Mbps; Default: 6 Mbps)
Beacon Interval – The rate at which beacon signals are transmitted from the
access point. The beacon signals allow wireless clients to maintain contact with
the access point. They may also carry power-management information.
(Range: 20-1000 TUs; Default: 100 TUs)
Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) – The rate at which stations in sleep
mode must wake up to receive broadcast/multicast transmissions.
