preamble [long | short-or-long]
• long - Sets the preamble to long (192 microseconds).
• short-or-long - Sets the preamble to short if no 802.11b clients are
detected (96 microseconds).
Short-or-Long
Interface Configuration (Wireless - 802.11b/g)
• Using a short preamble instead of a long preamble can increase data
throughput on the access point, but requires that all clients can support a
short preamble.
• Set the preamble to long to ensure the access point can support all
802.11b and 802.11g clients.
antenna control <diversity | left | right>
• diversity - The radio uses both antennas in a diversity system.
• right - Activates the right 2.4 Ghz antenna.
• left - Activates the left 2.4 Ghz antenna.
