Nitro Mode – Use Nitro mode to gain higher transfer throughput (a
maximum data of 54Mbps) if the associated device is capabale of
supporting it.
802.11d Support – 802.11d provides a means for communicating
regulatory information among 802.11 stations. The information includes
the country of operation, the channels that are defined and allowed and
the output power limits that apply to these channels. There are 3 options:
a) Disabled –the device uses its built-in country list to determine the set
of valid channels and their corresponding output power limits. The
device scans actively on these channels.
b) Flexible – the device uses those channels certified to perform
passive scanning. If the device receives a beacon from Access Point
on any of these channels, it starts scanning that channel actively.
c) Strict – the device uses only the channels certified for passive
scanning. No output power limits apply. As long as the device has
not adapted a country-string, it never transmits and therefore is not
able to join other Access Points.
Countries –Use the Countries pull-down menu to select the country
regions for operation. The channels and other relevant information are
shown in the list box. The Countries feature is disabled if 11d is enabled.
Default country is USA. A warning message appears when a country
selection is made.
The message box displays “WARNING: Select only the country in which
you are using the device. Any other selection will make the operation of
this device illegal.”
