Configuring the Wi-Fi Array 273
Global Settings .11n
This window is displayed only for XN Array models. It allows you to establish
global 802.11n IAP settings. These settings include enabling or disabling 802.11n
mode for the entire Array, specifying the number of transmit and receive chains
(data stream) used for spatial multiplexing, setting a short or standard guard
interval, auto-configuring channel bonding, and specifying whether auto-
configured channel bonding will be static or dynamic.
Before changing your settings for 802.11n, please read the discussion in “IEEE
802.11n Deployment Considerations” on page 59.

Procedure for Configuring Global 802.11n IAP Settings
1. 802.11n Mode: Select Enabled to operate in 802.11n mode, with four
802.11b/g/n mode ports and the remaining IAPs operating in 802.11a/n
mode.
If you select Disabled, then 802.11n operation is disabled on the Array.
IAPs abgn1 though abgn4 will behave in the same way as IAPs abg1 to
abg4 on the XS Arrays; the 802.11a/n IAPs will operate in 802.11a mode.
