Since the Extricom solution can support
two simultaneous channels in the same
frequency band, selecting the WLAN
mode enables the Extricom solution to
offer same band capability. This means
that both radios can be set to:
1. 802.11a & 802.11a
2. 802.11b & 802.11b
3. 802.11b & 802.11g
4. 802.11g & 802.11g
5. 802.11b/g & 802.11b/g
And any other combination.
Channel Select the channel. The options available are based
on the country and WLAN mode.
Maximum Retries Select the number of times to try to resend a packet
if the transmission of the packet fails.
