Wireless Mode: this can be either a client/station or access point/host. In the AP/host
mode the unit will connect with remote radios from Mesh2HT nodes which are
configured as clients assuming that SSID, Spectrum Width and Country Code matches.
Local AP-ESSID: This is the area in which the SSID is configured if a custom SSID is
desired.
Hide SSID: If the SSID should not be broadcast for other clients to see it can be hidden
by selecting this box. The AP’s MAC address will still appear in AP lists but will not show
the SSID.
Country Code: Select the country in which the system will be deployed. The radio will
then transmit under the legal operation for that particular regulatory domain. Any
restricted channels will no longer be available for static selection and power output will
also be tailored to the regulations of the local country. If using an external antenna, use
only the power output regulated per dB gain of the antenna.
Note: A Country Code selection is not required for North America.
Wireless Profile: Depending on the unit you have purchased this will be either:
‘NA’ to show that the system is working to IEEE802.11a and IEEE 802.11n (5Ghz
operation and using MIMO technology).
‘NG’ to show that the system is working to IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n specifications
(2.4GHz operation and using MIMO technology).
‘NY’ to show that the system is working to IEEEE802.11y and IEEEE802.n specifications
(4.9GHz operation and using MIMO technology).
Channel Spectrum Width: Channel availability is based on the spectrum width. With
larger spectrum width comes additional throughput capability. With less spectrum width,
more channels are available, however with less throughput and there is a greater chance
of frequency bleed-over.
