Proxim Harmony 802.11b User Manual page 16

Partnered AP Controller
Each Access Point is partnered with one of the AP Controllers on the network.
If you do not wish to specify which AP Controller the Access Point should partner
with, then select the "Any" option. Otherwise, you can select an AP Controller from
the drop-down list and the Access Point will partner with it.
Channel
By default, an AP Controller will automatically provide a Channel assignment to a
Harmony 802.11b Access Point. The Harmony system will assign Channel 6 to the
first 802.11b Access Point, Channel 1 to the second 802.11b Access Point, Channel 11
to the third 802.11b Access Point, Channel 6 to the fourth 802.11b Access Point, and
so on.
If necessary, you may manually configure the Channel assignment of an 802.11b
Access Point. To minimize interference, use only Channels 1, 6, and 11. If you have
more than three Access Points on the network, make sure that units that share the same
Channel are as far away from each other as possible, based on the results of your site
survey of the facility.
Note:
Proxim recommends that you manually assign Channels if you have more than
three Harmony 802.11b Access Points on one network.
Supported Clients
802.11b products can operate at 11 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 2 Mbps or 1 Mbps. This allows
802.11b devices to communicate with any existing 802.11 direct sequence devices that
operate only at 1 or 2 Mbps.
By default, the Harmony 802.11b Access Point will support both 802.11b and 2 Mbps
802.11 direct sequence clients. If you want the Harmony 802.11b Access Point to only
support 11 Mbps 802.11b clients, select the option labeled "11 Mbps clients only."
