Wireless Interface; Interface 1 - Proxim ORiNOCO AP-800 Installation And Management Manual

•
Operational TxMode: Specifies the current operational mode of transmission over the ethernet interface. There
are two types of transmission modes:
— Half Duplex: Allows one-way transmission at a time; where only receive or transmit operation can be
performed at a time.
— Full Duplex: Allows two-way transmission, where both receive and transmit operations can be performed
simultaneously.
•
Speed And TxMode: Specifies the speed and transmission mode of the Ethernet interface. The device will be
configured in Auto mode, which means that the device negotiates with its switch or hub to automatically select
the highest throughput option supported by both sides.

3.4 Wireless Interface

The Wireless feature enables you to use the new technology called Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), that uses
several antennas to transfer multiple data streams thus enabling more data to be transferred in the same period of time. The
wireless architecture is based on the cellular architecture where the systems are divided into cells, and each cell is called Basic
Service Set (BSS). Each BSS is controlled by a Base Station called Access Point, which controls associated stations. BSS is
identified by a Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID), which corresponds to the Access Point's MAC address.
The Wireless LAN (WLAN) can be formed of a single cell or of many cells. Each of the WLAN has an entry point which is called
Virtual Access Point (VAP). A VAP is a logical entity that exists within a physical WLAN access device. Each VAP is assigned a
unique BSSID and other relevant protocols that make these VAP an independent entity. Each of the VAP can be configured
independently so that the user can provide unique authentication and security features. (Refer
