Configuring Wireless Settings
Wireless Mode On 802.11b/g APs:
The wireless mode options include the following:
• Auto-Select: Allows both 802.11g- and
802.11b-compliant devices to connect to the
network. This is the default setting.
• 2.4GHz 54 Mbps (For faster 802.11g devices
only): Allows only 802.11g-compliant devices to
join the network.
• 2.4GHz 11Mbps (For slower 802.11b devices
only): Allows only 802.11b-compliant devices to
join the network.
On dual radio 802.11n APs:
On dual radio 802.11n APs, the wireless mode is
determined by radio; i.e., for the 2.4GHz radio, the
mode is set to 2.4GHz (802.11b/g/n), while for the
5GHz radio, the mode is set to 5GHz (802.11a/n).
Channel This option lets you select the channel used by the
network. You can choose SmartSelect, or choose
one of a specific number of channels. If you
choose SmartSelect, the AP automatically selects
the best channel (encountering the least
interference) to transmit the signal.
Channel Width (11n APs only) On 802.11n Access Points, the option to choose
40MHz channel width provides (theoretically)
double the data capacity of the channel. However,
wider channel width means fewer channels
available, and more interference with other
wireless signals.
Country Code This option (if enabled) lets you select your
country or region code.
Advanced Settings Refer to “Reviewing Common Advanced
Settings” on page 59.
AeroScout RFID Select Enabled to enable AeroScout RFID tag
detection.
External Antenna NOTE: This option only appears if you are using
the ZoneFlex 2942 AP.
The ZoneFlex 2942 AP provides an external
antenna port, in case you want to attach an
external antenna to extend the range of your
wireless network. To enable the AP to use the
external antenna, select the Enabled option in
this section. This option is disabled by default.
