Configuring the Wireless AP 341
Procedure for Configuring Global 802.11b/g IAP Settings
1. 802.11g Data Rates: The AP allows you to define which data rates are
supported for all 802.11g radios. Select (or deselect) 11g data rates by
clicking in the corresponding Supported and Basic data rate check boxes.
• Basic Rate — a wireless station (client) must support this rate in
order to associate.
• Supported Rate — data rates that can be used to transmit to
clients.
2. 802.11b Data Rates: This task is similar to Step 1, but these data rates
apply only to 802.11b IAPs.
3. Data Rate Presets: The Wireless AP can optimize your 802.11b/g data
rates automatically, based on range or throughput. Click Optimize Range
button to optimize data rates based on range, or click on the Optimize
Throughput to optimize data rates based on throughput. Restore
Defaults will take you back to the factory default rate settings.
4. 802.11b/g IAP Control: Click Enable All 802.11b/g IAPs to enable all
802.11b/g IAPs for this AP, or click Disable All 802.11b/g IAPs to disable
them.
5. Channel Configuration: Click Auto Configure to instruct the AP to
determine the best channel allocation settings for each 802.11b/g IAP and
select the channel automatically, based on changes in the environment.
This is the recommended method for 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
