Parameter Description
Basic 802.11a/802.11g Settings — General
Radio Enable Enable transmissions on this radio band.
Mode Access Point operating mode. Available options are:
l am-mode: Air Monitor mode
l ap-mode: Access Point mode
l spectrum-mode: Spectrum Monitor mode
The default settings is ap-mode.
High throughput
enable (Radio)
Enable/Disable high-throughput (802.11n) features on the radio. This option is
enabled by default.
Very high
throughput enable
(Radio)
Enable/Disable very high-throughput (802.11ac) features on the radio. This option
is enabled by default.
NOTE: This parameter is only available in the 802.11a radio profile.
Very high throughput
rates enable (256-
QAM)
Enable/Disable Very High Throughput (VHT)rate on 2.4 GHz band providing 256-
QAM modulation and encoding that allows for 600 Mbit/sec performance over
802.11n networks. For more information, see VHT Support on W-AP200 Series, W-
AP210 Series, W-AP220 Series, and W-AP270 Series Access Points.
NOTE: This parameter is only available in the 802.11g radio profile.
Channel Transmit channel for this radio. The available channels depend on the regulatory
domain (country). This parameter includes the following channel number
configuration options for 20 MHz, 40 MHz and 80 MHz modes:
l 20: Select this option to disable 40 MHz mode and 80 Mhz mode and activate
20 MHz mode for the entered channel.
l 40: Entering a channel number and selecting the 40 radio button in the WebUI
selects a primary and secondary channel for 40 MHz mode. When you use this
option, the number entered becomes the primary channel and the secondary
channel is determined by increasing the primary channel number by 4. For
example, if you entered 157 into the Channel field and selected the above
option, radios using that profile would select 157 as the primary channel and
161 as the secondary channel.
l 80; Entering a channel number and selecting the 80 Mhz radio button selects a
primary and secondary channel for 80 MHz mode.
If you select the spectrum monitoring checkbox on this profile page, the AP will
operate as a hybrid AP and scan the selected channel for spectrum analysis data.
Non-Wi-Fi
Interference
Immunity
Set a value for non-Wi-Fi Interference Immunity.
The default setting for this parameter is level 2. When performance drops due to
interference from non-802.11 interferers (such as DECT or Bluetooth devices), the
level can be increased up to level 5 for improved performance. However,
increasing the level makes the AP slightly “deaf” to its surroundings, causing the AP
to lose a small amount of range.
