Advanced Configuration
•
Regulatory Domain: Reports the regulatory domain for which the AP-600a is certified. Not all features or
channels are available in all countries. The available regulatory domains include:
— U.S./Canada -- FCC (5.15-5.35 GHz, 5.725-5.850 GHz)
— Europe -- ETSI (5.15-5.25 GHz only)
— Europe -- ETSI (5.15-5.35 GHz)
— Japan -- MMK (5.15-5.25 GHz)
— Singapore (5.15-2.25 GHz, 5.725-5.850 GHz)
•
Network Name (SSID): Enter a Network Name (between 2 and 31 characters long) for the wireless network. You
must configure each wireless client to use this name as well.
•
Auto Channel Select: The AP-600a scans the area for other Access Points and selects a free or relatively unused
communication channel. This helps prevent interference problems and increases network performance. By default
this feature is enabled. Note that you cannot disable Auto Channel Select for 802.11a products in Europe (see
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
Channels.
•
Turbo Mode: The AP-600a supports 2X Turbo Mode, an extension of the IEEE 802.11a standard that provides
twice the data rate. Note that 2X Turbo mode is not defined in the IEEE 802.11a specification. By default, Turbo
mode is disabled. Turbo mode is not available in all countries.
•
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 channel. If
you decide to manually set the unit's Channel, ensure that nearby devices do not use the same frequency.
Available Channels vary based on regulatory domain and the Turbo Mode setting. See
Frequencies for the
AP-600a. Note that you cannot manually set the channel for 802.11a products in Europe (see
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
•
Transmit Rate: Use the drop-down menu to select a specific transmit rate for the AP-600a. Choose between 6, 9,
12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbits/s, and Auto Fallback for standard 802.11a mode. If Turbo mode is enabled, choose
between 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 98, 108 Mbits/s, and Auto Fallback. Auto Fallback is the default setting; it allows
the AP-600a unit to select the best transmit rate based on the cell size.
