Advanced Configuration AP-700 User Guide
Interfaces
50
You can view and configure the following parameters for the Wireless interface:
NOTE: You must reboot the Access Point before any changes to these parameters take effect.
• Physical Interface Type: Depending on the Operational Mode, this field reports:
– For 802.11a mode: “802.11a (OFDM 5 GHz).”
NOTE: In countries in which 802.11a (5 GHz) is not available for use, the AP-700 provides dual-band (802.11b
and 802.11g) support only. 802.11a functionality covered in this User Guide is not supported.
– For 802.11b mode only: "802.11b (DSSS 2.4 GHz)"
– For 802.11g mode: "802.11g (OFDM/DSSS 2.4 GHz)"
– For 802.11b/g mode: "802.11g (OFDM/DSSS 2.4 GHz)"
– For 802.11g-wifi mode: "802.11g (OFDM/DSSS 2.4 GHz)"
• MAC Address: This is a read-only field that displays the unique MAC (Media Access Control) address for the Access
Point’s wireless interface. The MAC address is assigned at the factory.
• Regulatory Domain: Reports the regulatory domain for which the AP is certified. Not all features or channels are
available in all countries.
• Network Name (SSID): Enter a Network Name (between 1 and 32 characters long) for the primary wireless network.
You must configure each wireless client using this network to use this name as well. Additional SSIDs and VLANs may
be configured under Configure > SSID/VLAN/Security. Up to 16 SSID/VLANs may be configured.
NOTE: Do not use quotation marks (single or double) in the Network Name; this will cause the AP to misinterpret the
name.
• Enable Auto Channel Select: When the Enable Auto Channel Select option is enabled, the AP scans the area for
other Access Points and selects a free or relatively unused communication channel. This helps prevent interference
problems and increases network performance. By default this feature is enabled. See Dynamic Frequency
Selection/Radar Detection (DFS/RD) for more information and Available Channels for a list of available channels.
• Frequency Channel: When Auto Channel Select is enabled, this field is read-only and displays the Access Point’s
current operating Channel. When Auto Channel Select is disabled, you can specify the Access Point’s operating
channel. If you decide to manually set the unit’s Channel, ensure that nearby devices do not use the same frequency
(unless you are setting up WDS links). Available channels vary based on regulatory domain. See Dynamic Frequency
Selection/Radar Detection (DFS/RD) for more information and Available Channels for a list of available channels.
• Transmit Rate: Use the drop-down menu to select a specific transmit rate for the AP. The values depend on the
Operational mode. Auto Fallback is the default setting; it allows the AP unit to select the best transmit rate based on
the cell size.
– For 802.11a only -- Auto Fallback, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbits/s.
NOTE: In countries in which 802.11a (5 GHz) is not available for use, the AP-700 provides dual-band (802.11b
and 802.11g) support only. 802.11a functionality covered in this User Guide is not supported.
– For 802.11b only -- Auto Fallback, 1, 2, 5.5, 11 Mbits/sec.
– For 802.11g only -- Auto Fallback, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbits/sec
– For 802.11b/g -- Auto Fallback, 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbits/sec
– For 802.11g-wifi -- Auto Fallback, 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbits/sec
NOTE: 802.11g-wifi has been defined for Wi-Fi testing purposes. It is not recommended for use in your wireless
network environment.
NOTE: Turbo mode is supported in 802.11a mode in the FCC regulatory domain only. If turbo mode is enabled,
then this is displayed in the web UI and the transmit speeds and channels pull-down menus are updated
with the valid values.
