7.8 The Channel Status Screen
Use the Channel Status screen to scan wireless LAN channel noises and view the results. Click Network
Setting > Wireless > Channel Status. The screen appears as shown. Click Scan to scan the wireless LAN
channels. You can view the results in the Channel Scan Result section.
Note: The Scan button only works when the XMG uses 20MHz for the wireless channel width.
You can go to the
Network Setting > Wireless > General screen, click the more link, and
then change the channel width setting in the Bandwidth field.
802.11 Mode Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to associate with the
XMG.
Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the
XMG.
Select 802.11n Only to allow only IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the
XMG.
Select 802.11b/g Mixed to allow either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the XMG. The transmission rate of your XMG might be reduced.
Select 802.11b/g/n Mixed to allow IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g or IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the XMG. The transmission rate of your XMG might be reduced.
802.11 Protection Enabling this feature can help prevent collisions in mixed-mode networks (networks with both
IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g traffic).
Select Auto to have the wireless devices transmit data after a RTS/CTS handshake. This helps
improve IEEE 802.11g performance.
Select Off to disable 802.11 protection. The transmission rate of your XMG might be reduced in a
mixed-mode network.
This field displays Off and is not configurable when you set 802.11 Mode to 802.11b Only.
Preamble Select a preamble type from the drop-down list box. Choices are Long or Short. See Section
7.9.7 on page 104 for more information.
This field is configurable only when you set 802.11 Mode to 802.11b.
OBSS
Coexistence
Select Enable to allow the coexistence of 20 MHz and 40 MHz Overlapping Basic Service Sets
(OBSS) in wireless local area networks. Select Disabled to disable this feature.
