• Channel: This is the specific band of frequencies (from 1 to 11) to determine
the data path between routers. All SPEEDLAN 9000 routers expected to
communicate in a network must have the same channel (frequency). Select
one of the following channels (all are represented in GHz) from the Channel
drop-down list:
1 2.412
2 2.417
3 2.422
4 2.427
5 2.432
6 2.437
7 2.442
8 2.447
9 2.452
10 2.457
11 2.462
• Signaling Rate: This setting refers to the wireless signaling rate. The
SPEEDLAN 9000 routers have four signaling rates that can be used. Select
one of the following check boxes:
• 1 Mb/s: This setting limits the card by providing 1 Mb/s of bandwidth.
The minimum receiver sensitivity of the radio with this setting is -92 dBm.
• 2 Mb/s: This setting limits the card by providing 2 Mb/s of bandwidth.
The minimum receiver sensitivity of the radio with this setting is -89 dBm.
• 5.5 Mb/s: This setting limits the card to providing 5.5 Mb/s of
bandwidth. The minimum receiver sensitivity of the radio with this setting is
-88 dBm.
• 11 Mb/s: This is the full 11 Mb/s signaling rate. This value is
recommended for most installations. The minimum receiver sensitivity of
the radio with this setting is -85 dBm.
Note: The network can automatically downgrade the bandwidth if needed (that is, if
lower Mb/s settings are selected).
Note: If you want to use the signaling rate and frequency settings on remote routers,
select them and click Apply to Selected Nodes. If you want to select all of the routers,
click Select All.
