Client Adapter Configuration Parameters (continued)
Description
Indicates if the client adapter can associate to an access point that
allows both WEP and non-WEP associations.
• If the access point with which the client adapter is to associate
has WEP set to Optional, you must enable Mixed Mode on the
adapter (regardless of whether WEP is enabled on the adapter).
Otherwise, the client adapter cannot establish a connection with the
access point.
If the access point with which the client adapter is to associate does
•
not have WEP set to Optional, Mixed Mode should be set to
Disabled on the adapter.
Options: Enabled or Disabled
Default: Disabled
Note
Enables the client adapter to adopt the maximum transmit power level
and the frequency range of the access point to which it is associated,
provided the access point is also configured for world mode. This
parameter is available only in infrastructure mode and is designed for
users who travel between countries and want their client adapters to
associate to access points in different regulatory domains.
Options: Enabled or Disabled
Default: Disabled
Note
For security reasons, Cisco recommends that WEP-enabled and
WEP-disabled clients not be allowed in the same cell because
broadcast packets will be sent unencrypted, even to clients
running WEP.
When World Mode is enabled, the client adapter is limited to
the maximum transmit power level allowed by the country of
operation's regulatory agency.
