For complete instructions on setting up repeater access points, see the “Setting Up
a Repeater Access Point” section on page 8-1.
Radio Modulation
Select Standard or MOK for the radio modulation the access point uses.
• Standard—This default setting is the modulation type specified in IEEE
802.11, the wireless standard published by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association.
• MOK—This modulation was used before the IEEE finished the high-speed
802.11 standard and may still be in use in older wireless networks.
Radio Preamble
The radio preamble is a section of data at the head of a packet that contains
information the access point and client devices need when sending and receiving
packets. The pull-down menu allows you to select a long or short radio preamble:
• Long—A long preamble ensures compatibility between the access point and
all early models of Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Adapters (PC4800 and
PC4800A).
• Short—A short preamble improves throughput performance. Cisco Aironet's
Wireless LAN Adapter supports short preambles. Early models of Cisco
Aironet's Wireless LAN Adapter (PC4800 and PC4800A) require long
preambles.
Ethernet Configuration
This section describes how to configure the access point’s Ethernet port. You use
the Ethernet pages in the management system to set the Ethernet port
configuration. The Ethernet pages include:
• Ethernet Identification—Contains the basic locating and identity information
for the Ethernet port.
• Ethernet Hardware—Contains the setting for the access point’s Ethernet port
connection speed.
