IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG Web Console Configuration
3-21
NOTE Make sure the same Transmission distance parameters are set in both AP and Client sides, and both
Bridges. When this parameter is greater than 500, an optimal algorithm will be enabled to support
long-distance transmission.
Note that Transmission enhancement only supports 802.11b/g mode; 802.11a mode is not supported.
Transmission enhancement is also recommended to enable communication at both ends when
long-distance transmission is required. A high-gain antenna installed at a fixed antenna connector can also
improve performance. (Select Antenna at MAIN or AUX.)
Antenna
Setting Description Factory Default
Auto The IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG uses two antennas (MAIN and AUX)
and enables the diversity function for reducing multipath effect.
MAIN Diversity function is disabled. Only MAIN antenna is in use.
AUX Diversity function is disabled. Only AUX antenna is in use.

READ THIS BEFORE CHANGING THE DFS SETTING
DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) is a mechanism to allow unlicensed wireless devices to share
spectrum with existing radar systems by detecting radar systems and avoid causing interference with
them. The current versions of Weidmüller IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG products do not support DFS, so only
U-NII Low channels (36, 40, 44, and 48) are supported by default. If you want to enable the “Full 11a
channel support” option, keep in mind that your wireless devices may interfere with radar systems, which
may violate local laws. If you are not sure about this, we recommend that you keep this option disabled.
Updated firmware that supports DFS will be available soon.
Turbo Roaming (for Client mode only)
Setting Description Factory Default
Enable/ Disable Turbo Roaming can enable rapid handover when the
IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG, as a client, roams among a group of
APs.
Disable
When Turbo Roaming is enabled, the RF type, AP alive check, and Scan channels will be shown as follows. RF
type shows the current RF type that this client is using. AP alive check will check if the AP connection is still
available. When this function is enabled, a check will be done every 10 ms. You can set up Scan channels for
the APs among which this client is going to roam. There are three Scan channels available. Note that the Scan
