Users Manual
Operating Country
This drop-down menu specifies the national / regional regulations which the AP
should follow.
● If a North American region is selected, RF channels 1 to 11 will be
available and the maximum transmission power will be 26 dBm (400
mW).
● If European region is selected, RF channels 1 to 13 will be available.
The maximum transmission power will be 20 dBm (100 mW).
Note: Users are required to choose an option suitable to local laws and
regulations.
Per FCC regulation, the country selection is not available on all models
marketed in the US. All US models are fixed to US channels only.
Preferred
Frequency
These buttons determine the frequency at which access points will attempt to
broadcast. This feature will only work for APs that can transmit at both 5.4GHz
and 5GHz frequencies.
Protocol
This section displays the 2.4 GHz protocols your APs are using.
Channel Width
There are three options: 20 MHz, 20/40 MHz, and 40 MHz. With this feature
enabled, the Wi-Fi system can use two channels at once. Using two channels
improves the performance of the Wi-Fi connection.
Channel
This drop-down menu selects the 802.11 channel to be utilized. Available
options are from 1 to 11 and from 1 to 13 for the North America region and
Europe region, respectively. (Channel 14 is only available when the country is
selected as Japan with protocol 802.11b.) If Auto is set, the system will perform
channel scanning based on the scheduled time set and choose the most
suitable channel automatically.
Auto Channel
Update
Indicate the time of day at which update automatic channel selection.
Output Power
A
This drop-down menu determines the power at which the AP under this profile
will broadcast. When fixed settings are selected, the AP will broadcast at the
specified power level, regardless of context. When Dynamic settings are
selected, the AP will adjust its power level based on its surrounding APs in
order to maximize performance.
The Dynamic: Auto setting will set the AP to do this automatically. Otherwise,
the Dynamic: Manual setting will set the AP to dynamically adjust only if
instructed to do so. If you have set Dynamic:Manual, you can go to
AP>Toolbox>Auto Power Adj. to give your AP further instructions.
If you click the Boost checkbox, the AP under this profile will transmit using
additional power. Please note that using this option with several APs in close
proximity will lead to increased interference.
Client Signal
Strength
Threshold
A
This field determines that maximum signal strength each individual client will
receive. The measurement unit is megawatts.
