Preferred
Frequency
T
hese buttons determine the frequency at which access points will attempt to
broadcast. This feature will only work for APs that can transmit at both 5.4GHz
and 5GHz frequencies.
This section displays the 2.4 GHz protocols your APs are using.
Channel Width
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.
Channel
This drop-down menu selects the 802.11 channel t
o 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 per
form channel scanning
based on the scheduled time set and choose the most suitable channel
automatically.
Indicate the time of day at which update automatic channel selection.
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
selected, the AP will adjust its power level based on its surrounding APs
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 if
instructed to do so. If you have set Dynamic:Manual
AP>Toolbox>Auto Power Adj. to give your AP further instructions.
If you click the Boost
checkbox, 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.
