Configuring Wireless Radio Settings
The Firebox X Edge e-Series Wireless uses radio frequency signals to send and receive traffic from com-
puters with wireless ethernet cards. Several settings are specific to Edge channel selection. You can see
and change these settings if you connect to the Edge Wireless and select
Network > Radio Settings from the left navigation bar. Most users do not change these settings.

Setting the operating region and channel

You can choose from nine options for operating region: Americas, Asia, Australia, EMEA, France, Israel,
Japan, Taiwan, and the People's Republic of China. This parameter is configured when you use the
Quick Setup Wizard and cannot be changed after it is set. Your Firebox X Edge e-Series may have this
option set at manufacturing.
The set of channels available for each operating region are in the Channel drop-down list. With the
channel set to Auto, the Firebox X Edge e-Series Wireless automatically selects the channel with the
strongest signal available in its physical location.
