3. Configure the Channel, Power and Rate Settings field to assign a channel, antenna diversity
setting, radio transmit power level and data rate.
Placement
Use the Placement drop-down menu to specify whether the radio
is located outdoors or indoors. Default placement depends on the
country of operation selected for the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR
Access Point.
MAC Address
The Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point, like other Ethernet
devices, has a unique, hardware encoded Media Access Control
(MAC) or IEEE address. MAC addresses determine the device
sending or receiving data. A MAC address is a 48-bit number
written as six hexadecimal bytes separated by colons. For
example: 00:A0:F8:24:9A:C8. For additional information on
access point MAC address assignments, see
Radio Type
The Radio Type parameter simply displays the radio type as
802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n. This field is read only and always
displays the radio type selected from the Brocade Mobility
7131N-FGR Access Point menu tree under the Radio
Configuration item.
ERP Protection
Extended Rate PHY (ERP) allows 802.11g MUs to interoperate with
802.11b only MUs. ERP Protection is managed automatically by
the access point and informs users when 802.11b MUs are
present within the access point’s coverage area. The presence of
802.11b MUs within the 802.11g coverage area negatively
impacts network performance, so this feature should looked to as
an indicator of why network performance has been degraded.
HT Protection
Displays the HT Protection state, and whether a non HT protected
MU is currently associated with the access point.
