5-4 System Administrator’s Guide
Channel (Ad-Hoc Only)
This option selects the channel on which your network devices communicate. All devices
must be on the same channel to communicate. Other radio devices such as Bluetooth
wireless devices, microwave ovens, or 2.4-gigahertz cordless phones may operate on the
same channel as your network. Channels 1-11 are available. Use the channel for ad-hoc
mode. In infrastructure mode, the channel is negotiated with the access point and this
setting is ignored. Use this setting in ad-hoc mode only.
