Radio 1 OP Mode Select the operating mode for radio 1.
AP Mode means the radio can receive connections from wireless clients and pass their data
traffic through to the NWA1000 Series to be managed (or subsequently passed on to an
upstream gateway for managing).
Root AP means the radio acts as an AP and also supports the wireless connections with
other APs (in repeater mode) to form a WDS (Wireless Distribution System) to extend its
wireless network.
Repeater means the radio can establish a wireless connection with other APs (in either root
AP or repeater mode) to form a WDS.
Radio 1 Profile Select the radio profile the radio uses.
Note: You can only apply a 2.4G AP radio profile to radio 1. Otherwise, the first
radio will not be working.
Radio 1 WDS Profile This field is available only when the radio is in Root AP or Repeater mode.
Select the WDS profile the radio uses to connect to a root AP or repeater.
Uplink Selection
Mode
This field is available only when the radio is in Repeater mode.
Select AUTO to have the NWA1000 Series automatically use the settings in the applied WDS
profile to connect to a root AP or repeater.
Select Manual to have the NWA1000 Series connect to the root AP or repeater with the
MAC address specified in the Radio 1 Uplink MAC Address field.
Max Output Power Enter the maximum output power (between 0 to 30 dBm) of the NWA1000 Series in this field.
If there is a high density of APs in an area, decrease the output power of the NWA1000
Series to reduce interference with other APs.
Note: Reducing the output power also reduces the NWA1000 Series’s effective
broadcast radius.
