3e-525A Outdoor Access Point
You can assign a channel number to the AP (if necessary) and modify
the Tx Pwr Mode.
The Channel Number is a means of assigning frequencies to a series
of access points, when many are used in the same WLAN, to minimize in-
terference. There are 11 channel numbers that may be assigned. If you as-
sign channel number 1 to the first in a series, then channel 6, then channel
11, and then continue with 1, 6, 11, you will have the optimum frequency
spread to decrease "noise."
If you are using the WAB-1000 as both an AP and bridge, the channel
number set for the AP board and the channel number set for the bridge
should be sufficiently different to avoid interference. Generally, it has
been found that selecting Channel 4 for Bridging and Channel 11 for AP
gives a good spread.
If you click on the button Select the optimal channel, a popup screen
will display the choices. This action does not select the channel for you
but shows you what will most probably be the channel selected if you
leave the following dropdown menu at Yes.
Tx Pwr Mode and Fixed Pwr Level: The Tx Power Mode defaults to
Auto, giving the largest range of radio transmission available under nor-
mal conditions. As an option, the AP's broadcast range can be limited by
setting the Tx Power Mode to Fixed and choosing from 1-8 for Fixed Pwr
Level (1 being the shortest distance.) Finally, if you want to prevent any
radio frequency transmission, set Tx Pwr Mode to Off.
There are a number of advanced options included on this page as
