802.11b Radio Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Explanation
Node Type Configure the 802.11b radio as a master or station. You can also
disable the radio.
SSID Enter the network name for this access point. 802.11b radios
(Network Name) communicate with other 802.11b radios with the same network
name. You need to assign the same network name to the wireless
end devices that will connect to the access point.
The network name is case sensitive and can be no more than 32
alphanumeric characters.
Frequency Choose the frequency within the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz range that this
(Master radio only) access point uses to transmit and receive frames. The available
frequencies are country-dependent and are determined by the
radio. See the "Worldwide Frequencies for the 802.11b Radio"
table.
Configure all access points used in Spain, France, or Japan to a
common frequency. For all other countries, configure all access
points to a common frequency, or select up to three frequencies
that are at least three channels (or 25 MHz) apart. For example,
you could select 2412 MHz, 2437 MHz, and 2462 MHz. You
may want to use a single frequency to isolate the installation to
part of the band; for example, use a single frequency if other
wireless networks or microwave ovens are in the area.
For optimal performance of master radios in access points that
are in range of each other, configure the frequencies to be at least
five channels apart. For example, configure the frequency to use
channels 1, 6, and 11.
