RadioName
identifies the radio and cannot be changed.
AdminState simply turns the radio on and off.
3.4.1 Radio Band, Short Preamble, Guard Interval
NOTE: Radio2
cannot be config-
ured to use the
802.11b/g
frequency band.
RadioBand
selects both the frequency band of the radio
spectrum a Mesh Point radio will use (for dual band radios) and
whether it will use the 802.11n standard for wireless
transmission/reception (for radios that support the option).
5 GHz and 2.4 GHz Options
Radios installed as Radio 1 in radio-equipped Fortress Mesh
Points (refer to Table 3.1, above) can operate in either the
5 GHz 802.11a frequency band or the 802.11g 2.4 GHz band of
the radio spectrum, according to your selection for
RadioBand.
By default, a dual-band radio installed as Radio 1 in a multi-
radio Mesh Point is configured to operate in the 2.4 GHz
802.11g band. The dual-band radio installed in the ES210 is
configured to operate in the 802.11a band by default.
CAUTION:
Use of
4.4 GHz radios in
the U.S. without govern-
ment approval is strictly
forbidden.
In Mesh Points equipped with more than one radio, the
additional radio(s) can function in only a single frequency band:
the 5 GHz 802.11a band in standard-equipment radios, or the
4.4 GHz band in Mesh Points that support this option.
The virtual channel-sharing radio that can be created by
combining radios on select model Mesh Points through
channel
sharing (as described in Section 3.3.5) is limited to
the 5 GHz 802.11a frequency band UNII-3 channels.
The
RadioBand setting is among those subject to the relevant
regulatory domain. In some cases, in order to bring the Mesh
Point into compliance, dual-band radios could be automatically
fixed on the 802.11g band and radios fixed on the 802.11a
band could be disabled altogether. Consult your local
regulatory authority for the applicable specifications and
requirements for radio devices and transmissions.
ShortPreamble applies only to 2.4 GHz band operation:
