Configuring radio settings
Understanding radio settings
Radio settings directly control the behavior of the radio device in the access point and its
interaction with the physical medium, specifically how and what type of electromagnetic
waves the AP emits. You can specify whether the radio is on or off, radio frequency (RF)
broadcast channel, beacon interval (amount of time between AP beacon transmissions),
transmit power, IEEE 802.11 mode in which the radio operates, and so on.
The Gateway 7001 AP is available as a single-band access point (Gateway 7001 802.11G
Wireless Access Point), or a dual-band access point (Gateway 7001 802.11A+G Wireless
Access Point).
The single band access point can broadcast in either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g mode.
The dual band access point is capable of broadcasting in two different IEEE 802.11 modes
simultaneously.
■ Radio One can broadcast in IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g mode.
■ Radio Two can broadcast in IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11a Turbo mode.
The IEEE mode along with other radio settings are configured as described in “Navigating
to radio settings” on page 105 and “Configuring radio settings” on page 106 .
