ProSAFE Wireless Controller 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/ac mode: - 802.1a. - 802.11na. - 802.1na/ac. 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 WiFi network. Note: You can select the data rate only if the setting from the Channel Width menu is 20 MHz Static. Note: If the setting from the Channel Width menu is 20 MHz Static and you select 802.11na/ac from the Wireless Mode menu, you can set separate data rates for 802.11na and 802.11ac devices. Channel Width (802.11ng and 802.11na/ac only) From the menu, select the channel width: • 20 MHz Static. This is the default setting if the selection from the Wireless Mode menu is 802.11ng. • 20/40 MHz Dynamic. • 20/40/80 MHz Dynamic. This is the default setting if the selection from the Wireless Mode menu is 802.1na/ac. This setting is an option for 802.11na/ac devices only and does not apply to 802.11ng devices. A wider channel improves the performance, but some legacy devices can operate only with a 20 MHz channel width. Guard Interval (802.11ng and 802.11na/ac 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 must wait for the receiving station to return a Clear to Send (CTS) packet before sending the actual packet data.
