ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC7600 5. Click the tab for the radio for which you want to configure the wireless settings. 6. Select the Turn Radio On check box. The wireless settings become accessible and you can configure them. If you cannot select the Turn Radio On check box, see the requirements are the beginning of this section. 7. Configure the settings as described in the following table: Setting Description Wireless Mode The selections that are available depend on the selected radio mode. From the menu select the wireless mode: • 802.11b/bg/ng mode: - 802.11b. - 802.11bg. - 802.11ng. This is the default setting. • 802.11a/na mode: - 802.1a. - 802.11na. This is the default setting. Note: If you select 802.11bg or 802.11b mode, both 802.11n- and 802.11g-compliant devices can connect to the access points. However, if you select 802.11ng mode, 802.11b-compliant devices cannot connect. Data Rate From the menu, select the available transmit data rates of the wireless network. Channel Width (802.11n only) From the menu, select the channel width: • 20 MHz Static. • 20/40 MHz Dynamic. This is the default setting. A wider channel improves the performance, but some legacy devices can operate only with a 20 MHz channel width. Guard Interval (802.11n only) From the menu, select a value that protects transmissions from interference. A shorter guard interval improves performance, but some legacy devices can operate only with a long guard interval. RTS Threshold (0-2347) Enter the size of the Request to Send (RTS) threshold packet. The RTS threshold is related to the transmission mechanism (CSMA/CA or CSMA/CD) for the packets. If the packet size is equal to or less than this threshold, the data frame is transmitted immediately; if the packet size is larger than the specified value, the transmitting station must send an RTS threshold packet to the receiving station, and should wait for the receiving station to return a Clear to Send (CTS) packet before sending the actual packet data. Fragmentation Length (256-2346) Enter the size that specifies the maximum fragmentation length for data packets. Packets larger than the specified fragmentation length are broken up into smaller packets before being transmitted. The fragmentation length must be an even number.
