Configuring the Radio Network 4 - 3

Using the Conﬁguration Radio Menu

The radio network is conﬁgured using the Conﬁguration Radio Menu. To

access this menu, select Conﬁguration from the Main Menu then select

Radio from the Conﬁguration Menu.

Establishing an SSID (SSID)

This string functions as a password to join the radio network. Nodes

associating to the Bridge must supply a matching value, determined by

their conﬁgurations, or their association requests will be ignored.

Selecting Frequency (Frequency)

The actual frequency allowed depends on the regulatory body that con-

trols the radio spectrum in the location in which the unit is used.

Selecting the Data Rate (Rates)

Use the rates option to deﬁne the rate at which the unit can receive

information.

Nodes will only be allowed to transmit to other Ethernet or Token Ring

Bridges using the same data rate.
