Chapter 8 Wireless Screen The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 26 Wireless: MBSSID LABEL DESCRIPTION Operating Mode Select MBSSID in this field to display the screen as shown 802.11 Mode This makes sure that only compliant WLAN devices can associate with the NWA. Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NWA. Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NWA. Select 802.11b/g to allow both IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NWA. The transmission rate of your NWA might be reduced. Select 802.11a to allow only IEEE 802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NWA. Select 802.11n/g to allow both IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NWA. The transmission rate of your NWA might be reduced. Select 802.11n/a to allow both IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NWA. The transmission rate of your NWA might be reduced. The options in this field depend on the 802.11 modes that your device supports: Channel Width • NWA-3166 supports 802.11b/g, 802.11a, 802.11n/g and 802.11n/a. • NWA-3160 supports 802.11b only, 802.11g only, 802.11b/g and 802.11a. • NWA-3163 supports 802.11b only, 802.11g only and 802.11b/g. This field displays only when you select 802.11n/g or 802.11n/a in the 802.11 Radio Mode field. A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300Mbps. However, not all devices support 40MHz channels. Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless network. It is recommended that you select 20/40 (20/40 MHz). This allows the NWA to adjust the channel bandwidth depending on network conditions. Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your neighborhood. 140 NWA-3160 Series User's Guide
