Field Description
Radio The 9160 Wireless Gateway is available as a one-radio or two-radio access point.
One-Radio AP:
If you have a one-radio version of the 9160 Wireless Gateway, this field is not included on the Radio tab.
Two-Radio AP:
If you have a two-radio version of the 9160 Wireless Gateway, specify Radio One or Radio Two . On
a two-radio AP, the rest of the settings on this tab apply to the radio selected in this field. Be sure to
configure settings for both radios.
Status (On/Off) Specify whether you want the radio on or off by clicking On or Off .
Mode The Mode defines the Physical Layer ( PHY ) standard being used by the radio.
The 9160 Wireless Gateway is available as a single or dual-band access point.
Single-Band AP:
For the Single-Band access point, select one of these modes:
• IEEE 802.11b
• IEEE 802.11g
Dual-Band AP:
For the Dual-Band access point, select one of these modes.
• IEEE 802.11b
• IEEE 802.11g
• IEEE 802.11a
Note: If you have a two-radio AP, different modes may available depending on whether
Radio One or Radio Two is selected in the Radio field above.
Super AG Enabling Super AG provides better performance by increasing radio throughput for a radio mode
(IEEE 802.11b, g, a, and so on). Keep in mind that, with Super AG enabled, the access point
transmissions will consume more bandwidth.
• To enable Super AG click Enabled.
• To disable Super AG click Disabled.
Channel The Channel defines the portion of the radio spectrum that the radio uses for transmitting and
receiving. The range of channels and the default channel are determined by the Mode of the radio
interface.
For most Modes, the default is
Auto . Auto is the recommended mode because it automatically detects
the best channel choices based on signal strength, traffic loads, and so on.
