If you live in an area where additional channels are allowed, go to the 3Com web site (http://www.3com.com) and download the latest software that will allow additional channels in your country. 802.11A INTERFACE The IEEE 802.11a interface operates within the 5 GHz band, at up to 54 Mbps in normal mode or up to 108 Mbps in Turbo mode. First configure the radio settings that apply to the individual VAPs (Virtual Access Point) and the common radio settings that apply to the overall system. After you have configured the radio settings, go to the Security page under the 802.11a Interface (See "Security" on page 49.), enable the radio service for any of the VAP interfaces, and then set an SSID to identify the wireless network service provided by each VAP. Remember that only clients with the same SSID can associate with a VAP. NOTE: You must first select a country before the wireless interfaces are enabled.
