Description
Select a value from the Channel.11x field. The set of discreet channels available
depends on the country of operation, and is further limited by the restricted
channels declared in the Automatic Channel Settings panel.Special values
include:
• Auto (once) – The AP uses Automatic Channel Selection (ACS) the first time
that it is adopted by the switch, and then sticks to the channel thereafter.
• Auto – The AP uses ACS every time that it is adopted.
• Random – The AP chooses a random channel every time it's adopted.
Select a mW value from the Power.11a field. The set of values depends on the
country.
Only on the 802.11 FH tab. By checking this box, the Access Port divides the
frequency spectrum so Frequency-Hopping (FH) devices use one portion, and
Direct-Sequence (DS) devices use the other.
Note FH/DS co-existence isn't legal in all countries. If you have a
switch set to a country in which co-existence is not allowed, the
Allow DS Coexistence option is disabled.
Click this button to add/modify Restricted Channel Settings, which defines a set
of channels the Automatic Channel Selection (ACS) mechanism is not allowed to
choose.
Separate sets of restricted channels can be specified for 802.11a and 802.11b/g
devices. To add a restricted channel, click Add and choose a channel. If desired,
add descriptive text to explain why the channel is restricted.
To remove a channel from the list, select a channel in the list and click Delete.
