Device Properties
Each operating region has its own laws governing the use of the unlicensed frequency spectrum for
802.11 communications and Turbo mode. When you select an operating region, the system automatically
selects the channels that are allowed by the regulatory domain in selected region.
Certain Atheros Chipset based devices use wider frequency bands on certain channels in 802.11 b/g and
802.11a band of channels. The system is capable of monitoring channels that support Turbo Mode of
operation and detecting any unauthorized communication on these channels. You can select specific or
all channels to monitor wireless activity on Turbo channels. There are ten Turbo channels in a-mode.
These channels are 40, 42, 48, 50, 56, 58, 152, 153, 160, and 161. There is only one Turbo channel in
b/g-mode, that is 6.
AirTight devices functioning as sensors scan WLAN traffic on specific channels, and defend the network
against various WLAN threats on these channels. These channels are dependent on the operating region
of the AirTight device operating in sensor mode.
