Interface Parameters
Wireless Interface Parameters
The wireless interface group parameter is wif. Wireless Interface A (802.11a radio) uses table index 3 and Wireless
Interface B (802.11b/g radio) uses table index 4.
Common Parameters to 802.11a/b/g
* For 802.11a APs certified in the ETSI and TELEC regulatory domains and operating in the middle frequency band, disabling Auto Channel
Select will limit the available channels to those in the lower frequency band.
† Wireless Service Status cannot be shut down on an interface where Rogue Scan is enabled.
‡ Distance Between APs allows the AP to perform better in high noise environments by increasing the recieve sensitivity and transmit defer
threshold, as follows:
