3 Configure the Channel, Power and Rate Settings field to assign a channel, antenna diversity setting, 
radio transmit power level and data rate.
CAUTION
When deploying a mesh network, Extreme Networks recommends manually configuring channels and 
not using the Automatic or Uniform options.
HT Protection Displays the HT Protection state, and whether a non HT 
protected MU is currently associated with the Access 
Point.
802.11 b/g/n mode 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 as 
follows:
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.
Note: If the mode is B and G, the Channel Width option is 
not available, and a Secondary Channel cannot be 
defined.
For the 5 GHz radio, specify A and N, A Only or N Only to 
define whether the 802.11a/n radio transmits in the 5 Ghz 
band exclusively for 802.11a clients, 802.11n clients or 
transmits in the 5 Ghz band for both 802.11a/n clients.
A Only—Allows 11a rates.
N Only—Requires basic MCS rates.
A and N—Allows only 11a basic rates (default setting).
