Specifying the Wireless Technology for a Coverage Area

(To draw a coverage area, see
area:
1 In the Technology list, select one of the following:
• 802.11a
• 802.11b
• 802.11g
• 802.11a and 802.11b
• 802.11a and 802.11g
Select 802.11a and 802.11b if the area requires 802.11a and 802.11b coverage. Select 802.11a and
802.11g if the area requires 802.11a and 802.11g coverage.
When you specify a coverage area requiring different technologies, WLAN Management Software
creates two areas that completely overlap each other: one area for 802.11a and another for 802.11b/g. An
area requiring 802.11a and 802.11b uses a dual-radio AP model for calculation even if you specify a
single-radio AP.
2 To refine the dimensions of the coverage area, specify the appropriate dimension in the X-Length and
Y-Length boxes.
3 Click Next.
The wizard presents properties and association pages for the technology you chose in
following example shows the wizard for 802.11a and 802.11g technologies.
