Regulatory Domain, 802.11 Configuration, And Transmit Power - Avaya Communication Server 1000 Installation And Commissioning Manual

Avaya 6120/6140 WLAN Handset Configuration

Regulatory domain, 802.11 configuration, and transmit power

Regulatory domain, 802.11 configuration, and transmit power are interdependent settings.
After the domain and 802.11 type are established, you can configure the transmit power.
Important:
The 802.11 options and the transmit power options, must be configured to match the
corresponding settings used by the APs in the facility.
The FCC requirements dictate that the menu for changing the domain be available by
password, which in this case is the Line key. To configure the domain, press Line, and then
select the domain:
• 01 North America
• 02 Europe
For the North America Domain, the following frequency ranges and channel numbers are
supported on the handset based on U-NII regulatory domain.
The following table describes FCC required frequency ranges and channel numbers.
Table 18: Frequency ranges and channel numbers
U-NII lower band (5.15-5.25)
U-NII middle band (5.25-5.35)
U-NII upper band (5.725-5.825)
Important:
The United States also allows for transmissions in the ISM regulatory domain on channel
165 whose center frequency is 5.825 GHz, which is at the upper edge of the upper U-NII
band; however, is it not compatible with the handset. Therefore, it is important to not
configure any WLAN Access Points for operation on channel 165.
After you establish the regulatory domain, the 802.11 Config options appear on the display.
You can choose only one option; 802.11 (b and b/g mixed) is the default. If 802.11 (a) is
selected, another menu appears so that you can select the 802.11a transmission frequency.
Only those ranges that are allowed in the selected domain appear. You can select multiple
ranges. The selected mode and ranges are marked with an asterisk (*). Press the Done soft
key after you finish specifying the 802.11 mode.
After you press the Done softkey, the Transmit Power menu apperas. Only those power levels
that apply to the domain and 802.11 mode are listed. You can select only one level. The default
varies with the domain and 802.11 mode. The selected level is marked with an asterisk (*).
