Setting Default Description
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 (15-1440
min)
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.
802.11a/4.9GHz
Public Safety
Operational Mode
802.11a
This setting specifies if the AP will run the 802.11a/4.9GHz radio in
802.11a mode or in 4.9 GHz mode. Please note that 4.9 GHz is a licensed
frequency used for public safety.
