5 Managing the Access Point Table 16 describes the fields and configuration options for the Radio Settings page. Table 16. Radio Settings Field Radio (DWL-8500AP only) Status (On/Off) Mode (DWL-8500AP Radio 1 only) Mode (DWL-3500 and DWL-8500AP Radio 2) Super AG Channel Antenna Description Select Radio 1 or Radio 2 to specify which radio to configure. The rest of the settings on this tab apply to the radio you select in this field. Be sure to configure settings for both radios. Note: this field is not available on the DWL-3500AP because it only has one radio. Specify whether you want the radio on or off by clicking On or Off. If you turn off a radio, the AP sends disassociation frames to all the wireless clients it is currently supporting so that the radio can be gracefully shutdown and the clients can start the association process with other available APs. The Mode defines the wireless network standard the radio uses. • IEEE 802.11a • Dynamic Turbo 5 GHz The Mode defines the wireless network standard the radio uses. • IEEE 802.11g • Dynamic Turbo 2.4 GHz Super AG is a radio mode that attempts to increases performance through bursting and frame compression. Performance increases when the AP communicates with Super AG-enabled clients. However, with Super AG enabled, the access point transmissions consume more bandwidth. • To enable Super AG, click Enabled. • To disable Super AG, click Disabled. Select the channel. The range of available channels is determined by the mode of the radio interface and the country code setting. If you select Auto for the channel setting, the access point scans available channels and selects a channel where no traffic is detected. The Channel defines the portion of the radio spectrum the radio uses for transmitting and receiving. Each mode offers a number of channels, depending on how the spectrum is licensed by national and transnational authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-R). Select the antenna use to receive and transmit wireless traffic: • Auto: This mode is not operational. Select the Primary or Secondary mode. • Primary: Use the primary antenna to send and receive traffic. • Secondary: Use the secondary antenna to send and receive traffic. Configuring Radio Settings 59
