AP 7131 Transmit Power 12-5
11.Refer to the Channel, power and Rate Settings field.
12.Set an 802.11 a/n or 802.11 b/g/n radio mode as appropriate.
For radio1, specify B, G and N, B and G, G Only, B Only or N Only to define whether the 802.11b/g/n
radio transmits in the 2.4 GHz band exclusively for 802.11b (legacy) clients or transmits in the 2.4 GHz
band for 802.11g/n clients. Selecting B and G enables the access point to transmit to both B and G
clients if legacy clients (802.11b) partially comprise the network. Select accordingly based on the MU
requirements of the network.
The rates for the access point’s 2.4 GHz radio are:
• B, G and N Allows only basic rates (default setting)
• B and G Allows 11b basic rates. Does not allow MCS rates
• G and N Requires basic rates (either 6, 12, 24 or 1, 2, 5.5, 11, 6, 12, 24)
• G Only Requires one 11g basic rate. Does not allow MCS rates
• B Only Allows for 11b rates only. Does not allow G or N rates
• N Only Requires basic MCS rates
If the mode is B and G, the Channel Width option is not available, and a Secondary Channel cannot
be defined.
NOTE: Select the access point radio’s 802.11 a/n or 802.11b/g/n mode carefully in
respect to the radio’s intended data rate and client support requirements, as the rates
available differ depending on the selected mode. For more information on selected mode
versus data rate, see 2.4 GHz Mode Versus Data Rate on page 12-8 or
5.2 GHz Mode Versus Data Rate on page 12-13.
