CHAPTER 4: SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
802.11A INTERFACE
The IEEE 802.11a interface operates within the 5 GHz band, at up to 54 Mbps in
normal mode or up to 108 Mbps in Turbo mode.
First configure the radio settings that apply to the individual VAPs (Virtual Access
Point) and the common radio settings that apply to the overall system. After you
have configured the radio settings, go to the Security page under the 802.11a
Interface (
See “Security” on page 49.), enable the radio service for any of the VAP
interfaces, and then set an SSID to identify the wireless network service provided
by each VAP. Remember that only clients with the same SSID can associate with a
VAP.
Configuring Radio Settings
To configure VAP radio settings, select the Radio Settings page.

NOTE: The 8760 Access Point ships from the factory enabled only for channels
allowed in the US/Canada. If you live in an area where additional channels are
allowed, go to the 3Com web site (http://www.3com.com) and download the
latest software that will allow additional channels in your country.
NOTE: You must first select a country before the wireless interfaces are enabled.
NOTE: You must first enable VAP interface 1 before you can enable other VAP
interfaces.
