Wireless Access Point
Configuring the Wireless AP 335
2. Data Rate Presets: The Wireless AP can optimize your 802.11a data rates
automatically, based on range or throughput. Click Optimize Range to
optimize data rates based on range, or click Optimize Throughput to
optimize data rates based on throughput. The Restore Defaults button
will take you back to the factory default rate settings.
3. 802.11a IAP Control: Click Enable 802.11a IAPs to enable all 802.11an
IAPs for this AP, or click Disable 802.11a IAPs to disable all 802.11an
IAPs.
4. Channel Configuration: Click Auto Configure to instruct the AP to
determine the best channel allocation settings for each 802.11an IAP and
select the channel automatically, based on changes in the environment.
This is the recommended method for 802.11a channel allocation (see “RF
Spectrum Management” on page 361).
Click Factory Defaults if you wish to instruct the AP to return all IAPs to
their factory preset channels. As of release 6.3, APs no longer all use the
same factory preset values for channel assignments. Instead, if the AP has
been deployed for a while and already has data from the spectrum
analyzer and Xirrus Roaming Protocol about channel usage on
neighboring APs, it performs a quick auto channel using that information
(without doing a full RF scan) to make an intelligent choice of channel
assignments. If the AP has been rebooted and has no saved configuration
or is just being deployed for the first time, it has no prior data about its RF
environment. In this case, it will pick a set of compatible channel
assignments at random.
The following options may be selected for auto configuration:
On the XR-500/600 and XR-1000 Series models, the Factory Defaults
button will not restore iap1 to monitor mode. You will need to restore this
setting manually. Also, you may need to set Timeshare Mode again - see
“RF Monitor” on page 358.
