transmit power level and data rate.
The access point, like other Ethernet devices, has a unique,
hardware encoded Media Access Control (MAC) or IEEE address.
MAC addresses determine the device sending or receiving data. A
MAC address is a 48-bit number written as six hexadecimal bytes
separated by colons. For example: 00:A0:F8:24:9A:C8. For
additional information on access point MAC address assignments,
see AP-51xx MAC Address Assignment on page
The Radio Type
802.11a or 802.11b/g. This field is read only and always displays
the radio type selected from the access point menu tree under the
Radio Configuration item.
Extended Rate PHY (ERP) allows 802.11g MUs to interoperate with
802.11b only MUs. ERP Protection is managed automatically by the
access point and informs users when 802.11b MUs are present
within the access point's coverage area. The presence of 802.11b
MUs within the 802.11g coverage area negatively impacts network
performance, so this feature should looked to as an indicator of
why network performance has been degraded.
Radio Settings field to assign a channel, antenna diversity setting, radio
parameter simply displays the radio type as
1-30.
