maximum transmission power will be 20 dBm (100 mW).
NOTE: Users are required to choose an option suitable to local laws and regulations.
Per FCC regulation, the country selection is not available on all models marketed in US.
All US models are fixed to US channels only.
Preferred
Frequency
These buttons determine the frequency at which access points will attempt to broadcast.
This feature will only work for APs that can transmit at both 2.4GHz and 5GHz
frequencies.
5 GHz Protocol
This section displays the 5 GHz protocols your APs are using.
5GHz Channel
Bonding
There are three options: 20 MHz, 20/40 MHz, and 40 MHz. With this feature enabled, the
Wi-Fi system can use two channels at once. Using two channels improves the
performance of the Wi-Fi connection.
5 GHz Channel
This drop-down menu selects the 5 GHz 802.11 channel to be utilized. If Auto is set, the
system will perform channel scanning based on the scheduled time set and choose the
most suitable channel automatically.
2.4 GHz Protocol
This section displays the 2.4GHz protocols your APs are using.
2.4 GHz Channel
Bonding
There are three options: 20 MHz, 20/40 MHz, and 40 MHz. With this feature enabled, the
Wi-Fi system can use two channels at once. Using two channels improves the
performance of the Wi-Fi connection.
2.4 GHz Channel
This drop-down menu selects the 802.11 channel to be utilized. Available options are
from 1 to 11 and from 1 to 13 for the North America region and Europe region,
respectively. (Channel 14 is only available when the country is selected as Japan with
protocol 802.11b.) If Auto is set, the system will perform channel scanning based on the
scheduled time set and choose the most suitable channel automatically.
Management
VLAN ID
This field specifies the VLAN ID to tag to management traffic, such as AP to AP
controller communication traffic. The value is 0 by default, meaning that no VLAN tagging
will be applied. NOTE: change this value with caution as alterations may result in loss of
connection to the AP controller.
Power Boost
A
With this option enabled, the AP under this profile will transmit using additional power.
Please note that using this option with several APs in close proximity will lead to
increased interference.
Output Power
A
This drop-down menu determines the power at which the AP under this profile will
broadcast. When fixed settings are selected, the AP will broadcast at the specified power
level, regardless of context. When Dynamic settings are selected, the AP will adjust its
power level based on its surrounding APs in order to maximize performance.
The Dynamic: Auto setting will set the AP to do this automatically. Otherwise, the
Dynamic: Manual setting will set the AP to dynamically adjust only of instructed to do
so. If you have set Dynamic:Manual, you can go to AP>Toolbox>Auto Power Adj. to
give your AP further instructions.
Beacon Rate
A
This drop-down menu provides the option to send beacons in different transmit bit rates.
The bit rates are 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 6Mbps, and 11Mbps.
Beacon Interval
A
This drop-down menu provides the option to set the time between each beacon send.
Available options are 100ms, 250ms, and 500ms.
DTIM
A
This field provides the option to set the frequency for beacon to include delivery traffic
indication messages (DTIM). The interval unit is measured in milliseconds.
