Note that this setting for a "static-channel" only takes effect if the Channel Policy (channel-policy) is set

to static.

The channels available will depend on the radio mode of your access point and the country in which the

AP is operating. The following mappings of modes to channel sets assume the AP is operating in the

United States (country code is "us"). For more information on setting the channel policy, see “4. Set the

Channel Policy”.

 For IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g modes (including b/g radios), the radio can use channels 1

through 11 inclusive.

 For IEEE 802.11a mode, the radio can use channels 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 149, 153, 157,

161,165.

 For Atheros 5 GHz Turbo or Atheros Dynamic Turbo 5 GHz (IEEE 802.11a turbo), the radio can

use a subset of the "a" mode channels: 40, 48, 56, 153, and 161.

 For Atheros 2.4 GHz Turbo or Atheros Dynamic Turbo 2.4 GHz (IEEE 802.11g turbo), the radio can

use only one of the "b/g" mode channels: 6.

6. Configure Basic and Supported Rate Sets

e syntax for working with basic and supported rates on the AP is as follows. In the examples below,

the Command is either get, add, or remove and "wlan0" is used as the WirelessInterface.

Command basic-rate WirelessInterface rate SomeRate

Feature or Setting CLI Command

Get current basic rates get basic-rate

Add a basic rate set add basic-rate wlan0 rate 48

Remove a basic rate remove basic-rate wlan0 rate 11

Remove all basic rates remove basic-rate wlan0

Get current supported rates get supported-rate wlan0

Add supported rate add supported-rate wlan0 rate 9

Remove a supported rate remove supported-rate wlan0 rate 11

Remove all supported rates remove supported-rate wlan0

Suggested defaults for basic and supported rates for the various radio modes are shown in the table

below. Rates are expressed in megabits per second.
