Wireless mode

Supported wireless modes are determined by the regulations of the country in which the AP
is operating, and are controlled by the country setting on the AP. To configure the country
setting, see
E-MSM430, E-MSM460, and E-MSM466
These products support the following wireless modes.

When operating in this mode, the AP allows both 802.11n and legacy 802.11a clients to
associate. The AP advertises protection in the beacon when legacy clients are associated
or operating on the same channel. This alerts associated 802.11n clients to use protection
when transmitting. The AP also uses protection when necessary when sending 802.11n
data. The type of protection is configurable by setting the Tx protection parameter.
