MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide v6.4.0

802.11b (2.4 GHz)
MSM310, MSM317, MSM320, MSM335Supported on
2.4 GHzFrequency band
Up to 11 Mbps.Data rates
This is a legacy mode that can be used to support older wireless client stations.
802.11a Turbo
MSM310, MSM320, MSM335Supported on
5 GHzFrequency band
Up to 108 Mbps.Data rates
Provides channel bonding in the 5 GHz frequency band for enhanced performance.
Useful to provide increased throughput when creating local mesh links between
two APs.
Channel width
Supported on: MSM410, MSM422 (radio 1), HP 425, MSM430, MSM460, MSM466, MSM466-R
,HP 517
Not available in Monitor or Sensor modes.
802.11n allows for the use of the standard channel width of 20 MHz, or a double width of 40
MHz. The double width is achieved by using two adjacent channels to send data simultaneously.
This results in double the available bandwidth leading to much higher throughput.
802.11ac allows for the use of the standard channel width of 20 MHz, a double width of 40
MHz, or a quad width of 80 MHz. The double width is achieved by using two adjacent channels
to send data simultaneously. The quad width is achieved by using four adjacent channels.
Select the Channel width from one of the following options:
• 20 MHz: Uses the standard channel width of 20 MHz. Recommended when the AP is operating
in the 2.4 GHz band and multiple networks must co-exist in the same location.
• Auto 20/40 MHz: The AP will advertise 40 MHz support to clients, but will use 20 MHz for
each client that does not support 40 MHz.
• Auto 20/40/80 MHz: (Only supported when Wireless mode is set to 802.11ac/n/a on the
HP 517.) The AP automatically adjusts channel width to support clients that are using 20, 40,
or 80 MHz wide channels.
NOTE: When operating in the 2.4 GHz band, the HP 425, MSM430, MSM460, MSM466,
and MSM466-R will automatically switch to using a 20 MHz channel width if a legacy 802.11b/g
client or AP is detected on the primary or secondary channel. When the legacy device is no longer
present, the AP will revert back to using a 40 MHz channel width.
On the HP 517, when Wireless mode is set to 802.11n/b/g, Channel width is automatically set
to 20 MHz and cannot be changed.
