Chapter 2 — Configuring Network Settings
IF61 Fixed Reader User’s Manual 27
Setting the 802.11 Network Mode
When you set the Network Mode parameter, you should be
aware of any restrictions on the use of specific frequency bands in
your area.
To eliminate interference to Mobile Satellite Systems (MMS)
communications, regulations in the United States, Canada,
Australia, and New Zealand require only indoor use if you are
operating the IF61 in the 5150-5250 MHz range.
Australia and New Zealand also require only indoor use if you are
operating the IF61 in the 5250-5350 MHz range.
All European countries require only indoor use if you are
operating the IF61 in the 5150-5350 MHz range.
To comply with regulations in these locations, set Network Mode
to Auto or 802.11a only if the IF61 is being used indoors.
