4 - Configuring the Radios

98

1. From the Main Menu, select IEEE 802.11a Radio. The IEEE 802.11a

Radio screen appears.

2. Configure the IEEE 802.11a Radio parameters. These parameters are

described below:

Node Type

Configure the 802.11a radio as a master or station. You can also
disable the radio.

Choose Master if you want this radio to operate in Master mode
when it sees the root access point on its Ethernet port. If it cannot
see the root, it operates in Master/Station mode and tries to find
the root through its radio port.

Choose Station if you want this radio to always operate in Station
mode.

SSID (Network Name)

Enter the network name for this access point. 802.11a radios
communicate with other 802.11a radios with the same network
name. You need to assign the same network name to the wireless
end devices that will connect to the access point.
