These parameters are used to enable ( √ ) or disable a channel. The number of chan-
nels available is determined by the type of radio installed. See “PC Card Radios” on
page 204 for the number of available channels for each radio type.
Active Channel
This parameter determines the current default radio channel.
Range
The federal agencies, Industry Canada and the Federal Communications Commis-
sion in the United States, as well as other country-specific agencies world-wide,
regulate the use of radio frequencies to ensure that communication conflicts are
avoided. See “PC Card Radios” on page 204 for the assigned frequencies for each
radio type.
The Range parameter determines which channels can be enabled and is set accord-
ing to the approved frequency range in the country where the system is installed.
The TekLAN 902 MHz radio is only assigned the 902 MHz frequency.
Enable Card
This parameter enables the PC card ( √ ). The card may be disabled temporarily
when, for testing purposes, it is required that there be no radio interference.
Auto-Startup
This parameter enables ( √ ) polling immediately when the 9150 is rebooted. If
Auto-Startup is disabled, the 9150 will wait until polling is initialized from the
network controller. When the 9150 is operating as a Wlan base station under a
network controller, this parameter should be disabled.
