88 | Configuring and Using Device Groups in AMP Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave |Version 7.3
To configure these settings, locate the proprietary settings areas on the Groups > Radio page and continue
with the additional steps in this procedure.
5. To configure settings specific to the Proxim AP-600, AP-700, AP-2000, AP-4000; Avaya AP-3/4/5/6//7/8, and
ProCurve 520WL, locate the appropriate section of Groups > Radio page and define the required fields.
Table 61 describes the settings and default values.
6. To configure settings specific to Proxim 4900M, locate the Proxim 4900M section and define the required
fields. Table 62 describes the settings and default values.
NOTE: Proprietary settings are only applied to devices in the group from the specific vendor and are not configured on devices
from vendors that do not support the functionality.

Fields and Default Values
Setting Default Description
Load Balancing No If enabled, this setting allows client devices associating to an AP with two radio cards
to determine which card to associate with, based on the load (# of clients) on each
card.
NOTE: This feature is only available when two 802.11b wireless cards are used in an
AP-2000.
Interference Robustness No If enabled, this option will fragment packets greater than 500 bytes in size to reduce
the impact of radio frequency interference on wireless data throughput.
Distance Between APs Large This setting adjusts the receiver sensitivity. Reducing receiver sensitivity from its
maximum may help reduce the amount of crosstalk between wireless stations to
better support roaming users. Reducing the receiver sensitivity, user stations will be
more likely to connect with the nearest access point.
802.11g Operational
Mode
802.11b
+802.11g
This setting sets the operational mode of all g radios in the group to either b only, g
only or b + g.
802.11abg Operational
Mode
802.11b
+802.11g
This setting sets the operational mode of all a/b/g radios in the group to either a only, b
only, g only or b + g.
802.11b Transmit Rate Auto
Fallback
This setting specifies the minimum transmit rate required for the AP to permit a user
device to associate.
802.11g Transmit Rate Auto
Fallback
This setting specifies the minimum transmit rate required for the AP to permit a user
device to associate.
802.11a Transmit Rate Auto
Fallback
This setting specifies the minimum transmit rate required for the AP to permit a user
device to associate.
Rogue Scanning Yes If enabled, any ORiNOCO or Avaya APs in the group (with the appropriate firmware)
will passively scan for rogue access points at the specified interval. This rogue scan
will not break users' association to the network.
NOTE: This feature can affect the data performance of the access point.
Rogue Scanning Interval 15 minutes If rogue scanning is enabled, this setting controls the frequency with which scans are
conducted (in minutes). Frequent scans provide the greatest security, but AP
performance and throughput available to user devices may be impacted modestly
during a rogue scan.

Setting Default Description
4.9GHz Public Safety
Channel Bandwidth
20 This setting specifies the channel bandwidth for the 4.9 GHz radio. It is only applicable
if you are running the 802.11a/4.9GHz radio in 4.9GHz mode.
