Chapter 10 AP Profile Table 50 Configuration > Object > AP Profile > Add/Edit Profile (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Profile Name 802.11 Band Enter up to 31 alphanumeric characters to be used as this profile's name. Spaces and underscores are allowed. Select the wireless band which this radio profile should use. Not all NWA/WACs support both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. 2.4 GHz is the frequency used by IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless clients. 5 GHz is the frequency used by IEEE 802.11ac/a/n wireless clients. Channel Width • 11b/g: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NWA/WAC. The NWA/WAC adjusts the transmission rate automatically according to the wireless standard supported by the wireless devices. • 11b/g/n: allows IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NWA/WAC. The transmission rate of your NWA/WAC might be reduced. • 11a: allows only IEEE 802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NWA/WAC. • 11a/n: allows both IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NWA/WAC. The transmission rate of your NWA/WAC might be reduced. • 11ac: allows IEEE 802.11ac compliant WLAN devices to associate with the WAC. Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless network. Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your neighborhood. Select 20/40 MHz to allow the NWA/WAC to choose the channel bandwidth (20 or 40 MHz) that has least interference. Channel Selection Enable DCS Client Aware Select 20/40/80 MHz to allow the NWA/WAC to choose the channel bandwidth (20 or 40 or 80 MHz) that has least interference. This option is available only when you select 11ac in the 802.11 Band field. This is the radio channel which the signal will use for broadcasting by this radio profile. • DCS: Choose Dynamic Channel Selection to have the NWA/WAC choose a radio channel that has least interference. • Manual: Choose from the available radio channels in the list. If your NWA/WAC is outdoor type, be sure to choose non-indoors channels. Select this to have the NWA/WAC switch channels only when there are no clients connected to it. If there is a client connected, the NWA/WAC will not switch channels but generate a log. The NWA/WAC tries to scan and switch channels again at the end of the specified time interval or at the scheduled time. 2.4 GHz Channel Selection Method If you disable this then the NWA/WAC switches channels immediately regardless of any client connections. In this instance, clients that are connected to the NWA/WAC when it switches channels are dropped. Select how you want to specify the channels the NWA/WAC switches between for 2.4 GHz operation. This field appears only when you choose 802.11b/g/n mode. Select auto to have the NWA/WAC display a 2.4 GHz Channel Deployment field you can use to limit channel switching to 3 or 4 channels. Select manual to select the individual channels the NWA/WAC switches between. Channel ID Note: The method is automatically set to auto when no channel is selected or any one of the previously selected channels is not supported. This field is available only when you set Channel Selection to DCS and set 2.4 GHz Channel Selection Method to manual. Select the channels that you want the NWA/WAC to use.
