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.
2. TX Chains: Select the number of separate data streams transmitted by the
antennas of each IAP. The default is 3. See “Multiple Data Streams—
Spatial Multiplexing” on page 62.
3. RX Chains: Select the number of separate data streams received by the
antennas of each IAP. This number should be greater than or equal to TX
Chains. The default is 3. See “Multiple Data Streams—Spatial
Multiplexing” on page 62.
4. Guard Interval: Select Short to increase the data transmission rate by
decreasing wait intervals in signal transmission. Select Long to use the
standard interval. The default is Short. See “Short Guard Interval” on
page 64.
5. Auto-configure Channel Bonding: Select Enabled to use Channel
Bonding and automatically select the best channels for bonding. The
default is Disabled. See “Channel Bonding” on page 63.
6. 5 GHz Channel Bonding: Select Dynamic to have auto-configuration for
bonded 5 GHz channels be automatically updated as conditions change.
For example, if there are too many clients to be supported by a bonded
channel, dynamic mode will automatically break the bonded channel into
two channels. Select Static to have the bonded channels remain the same
once they are selected. The Dynamic option is only available when Auto-
Configure Channel Bonding is enabled. The default is Dynamic. See
“Channel Bonding” on page 63.
7. 2.4 GHz Channel Bonding: Select Dynamic to have auto-configuration
for bonded 2.4 GHz channels be automatically updated as conditions
change. Select Static to have the bonded channels remain the same once
they are selected. The Dynamic option is only available when Auto-
Configure Channel Bonding is enabled, and the default is Dynamic. See
“Channel Bonding” on page 63.
