802.11a Radio Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Explanation
Node Type Configure the 802.11a radio as a master or station. You can also
disable the radio.
Choose Master if you want this radio to operate in Master mode
when it sees the root access point on its Ethernet port. If it
cannot see the root, it operates in Master/Station mode and tries
to find the root through its radio port.
Choose Station if you want this radio to always operate in
Station mode.
SSID (Network Enter the network name for this access point. 802.11a radios
Name) communicate with other 802.11a 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 5.15 to 5.35 GHz range that
(Master radio only) this access point uses to transmit and receive frames. You can
also set the frequency to Dynamic, which lets the access point
choose the best available channel to use.
The available frequencies depend on the country and the radio
option configured on the access point. See the "Worldwide
Frequencies for the 802.11a Radio" table on page 94. If the
radio is a mid range radio, you can only choose 52, 56, 60, or
64.
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.
