Configuration
Note:
For Europe:
The Model 8570 Access Point can use one of eight Channels: Channel 36 (5.18 GHz),
Channel 40 (5.20 GHz), Channel 44 (5.22 GHz), Channel 48 (5.24 GHz), Channel 52
(5.26 GHz), Channel 56 (5.28 GHz), Channel 60 (5.30 GHz), or Channel 64 (5.32 GHz).
Access Points sold in Europe do not support 2X mode.
For Japan:
The Model 8570 Access Point can use one of four Channels: Channel 34 (5.17 GHz),
Channel 38 (5.19 GHz), Channel 42 (5.21 GHz), or Channel 46 (5.23 GHz). Access
Points sold in Japan do not support 2X mode.
For Singapore:
The Model 8570 Access Point can use one of four Channels: Channel 36 (5.18 GHz),
Channel 40 (5.20 GHz), Channel 44 (5.22 GHz), or Channel 48 (5.24 GHz). Access
Points sold in Singapore do not support 2X mode.
SSID
The SSID (Service Set ID), which is also referred to as the ESSID (Extended Service Set
ID), is a text string that all members of the same 802.11a network share.
The SSID may be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long, including spaces. In an
Infrastructure network, the SSID must match on all Harmony 802.11a Access Points
and 802.11a clients (unless a client's SSID is "any"). Devices that do not share the
same SSID cannot communicate.
Send Rate
The IEEE 802.11a specification supports eight data rates: 54 Mbps, 48 Mbps,
36 Mbps, 24 Mbps, 18 Mbps, 12 Mbps, 9 Mbps, and 6 Mbps. Harmony's 2X mode
supports eight data rates: 108 Mbps, 96 Mbps, 72 Mbps, 48 Mbps, 36 Mbps,
24 Mbps, 18 Mbps, and 12 Mbps.
Note:
As a mobile client moves away from an 802.11a Access Point, the data rate
automatically decreases in order to maintain a usable radio connection. Therefore, a
mobile client that is close to an Access Point may operate at 54 Mbps, but a client that
is far away from the Access Point may operate at 6 Mbps. Operation at 6 Mbps or
12 Mbps provides greater range than operation at 54 Mbps or 108 Mbps.
By default, the Harmony 802.11a Access Point dynamically switches between all data
rates for the specified radio mode (802.11a or 2X mode). However, you can also
manually configure a specific data rate that the Access Point will use from the
drop-down menu.

See "Radio Frequency Interference Requirements" on page 19 for important
regulatory information concerning Channel selection. A 2X Channel requires
twice the bandwidth of a standard 802.11a Channel.
APs sold in Europe, Japan, and Singapore do not support 2X mode.
