name to the wireless end devices that will connect to the access
point. The network name is case-sensitive and can be no more
than 32 alphanumeric characters.

Frequency
The frequency is the particular frequency within the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz
range that the access point uses to transmit and receive packets.
The available frequencies are country-dependent and are
determined by the radio. This parameter is only available if this
radio is a master radio.

Configure all access points used in Spain, France, or Japan to a
common frequency. For all other countries, you can configure all
access points to a common frequency, or you can select up to
three frequencies that are at least three channels (or 25 MHz)
apart. You could select 2412 MHz, 2437 MHz, and 2462 MHz, for
example.

You may want to use a single frequency to isolate the installation
to part of the band; for example, use a single frequency if other DS
systems or multiple microwave ovens are in use in the area.

For optimal performance of access points that are within range of
each other, you should configure their frequencies to be five
channels apart. For example, you could configure the access
points to use channels 1, 6, and 11.

Data/Voice Settings
This parameter is only available if this radio is a master radio.

Set to Data Traffic Only if the access point will transmit only data
traffic.

Set to Voice Traffic Only if the access point will transmit only voice
traffic. Voice 2 telephone packets will be sent with a priority
setting. All other multicast/broadcast packets will be dropped.

Set to Data and Voice Traffic if the access point will transmit both
data and voice traffic. MobileLAN voice 2 telephone packets will
be sent in the high priority queue. Packets in the high priority
queue are sent ahead of packets in the normal priority queue. No
special filtering.
