Description
The Mode defines the Physical Layer (PHY) standard being used by the radio.
The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway is available as a single or dual-band access point with one
or two radios. The configuration options for Mode differ depending on which product you
have.
Single-Band AP:
For the Single-Band AP, select one of these modes:
• IEEE 802.11b
• IEEE 802.11g
Dual-Band AP:
For the dual-band AP, select one of these modes: a mode for each Radio Interface.
• IEEE 802.11b
• IEEE 802.11g
• IEEE 802.11a
One or Two-Radio AP:
If you have a two-radio AP, select an IEEE 802.11 mode for each of the two radio inter-
faces. (For a one-radio AP there is only one radio interface.)
Select the Channel. The range of channels and the default is determined by the Mode of
the radio interface.
The Channel defines the portion of the radio spectrum the radio uses for transmitting
and receiving. Each mode offers a number of channels, dependent on how the spectrum
is licensed by national and transnational authorities such as the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) or the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-R).
The default is Auto, which picks the least busy channel at startup time.
