System information

InterBSS Relay
If you want clients to be able to communicate between each other when connected to the same AP,
you'll need to enable this setting. When checked, clients can talk to other clients. When unchecked,
client-to-client traffic is suppressed.
Outdoor Only
When selected, any frequencies that, by regulation (according to the chosen country code) can only
output reduced power levels, are considered indoor frequencies and will be removed from the Available
Channels list. Deselecting this will return the channels to use. You will need to select File->Activate
to see the desired results.
Short Preamble
Some older cards, principally 802.11b cards, only understand the original long preamble sent at the
beginning of wireless management frames. If all your clients are newer cards that can understand the
short preamble, you'll want this enabled. By default, it is enabled.
Super A/G
Super A/G encapsulates some of the algorithms meant to speed up communications. Check this if you
wish to use bursting, compression, and fast frames.
AP Power Saving Mode
AP power saving mode powers down the card when no clients are requesting access. This can help save
power at sites using solar cells.
Network Type
Here, you must select either Access Point (AP) or Station (client) mode.
Operating Mode
You can select between 802.11a (5.8GHz OFDM), 802.11b (2.4GHz DSSS), mixed 802.11b/g
(2.4GHz), 802.11g only (no switching for 802.11b only clients) frequencies for your AP. Selecting one
of the operating modes for a client will limit the scan. This will result in the client finding the AP
faster. Selecting 108Mb Turbo will allow your radio to transmit at twice the rate. Note that, this setting
will require a higher SNR to achieve these speeds. If you couldn't connect consistently at 54Mbs, you
won't get 108Mbs, but you still may get more speed than without turbo.
Available Channels Window
This window shows the channel and frequencies available for use depending on what you've entered in
the country code setting above. These will show the frequencies permitted in that country, but after
entering the country code you must first save and activate your changes.
