Description
Channel List (Master Radio) The Channel List indicates the channel number, the band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) as
well as the frequency in MHz.
When the 802.11 Mode is set to ‘802.11n wide’, each entry shows the main
channel number first followed by the extension channel number if the
particular channel supports 40 MHz.
The main 20 MHz channel is used whenever sending frames at an 802.11 a/g
data rate (e.g., Beacons at 6 Mbits/s. The main and extension channels are
used together for 802.11n data rate transmissions. Note that the frequency
indicated when in 802.11n wide mode is the center of the 40 MHz channel
pair.
Important: The RadioLinx RLX2 radio is not supplied with an antenna. When
choosing an antenna for use with the RLX2 radio, you must choose one that
supports the frequency range set in the configuration for the radio.
Repeater Click this button to configure a radio as a repeater. The repeater mode is the
normal radio mode for the network, while the master mode is more of a
special setting to establish the network channel and define the root of the
network tree. Repeater radios help extend the range of a network and help
create the signal "bridges" that allow networked radios to communicate. All
RLX2 radios are capable of repeating.
Parent Link settings Click this button to specify how a repeater radio connects to the network. For
information, see Parent Link settings.
Client This is a special mode that allows you to connect an Ethernet device to any
802.11 a, b or g access point. This mode is used in the special event of
connecting a device to another brand access point. For information on setting
up a client, see Configuring clients.
Auto / Specify Only choose "specify" if device does not send out any unsolicited Ethernet
packets. Try Auto first.
Client MAC The MAC ID of the device connected to the radio, only if the device does not
advertise its MAC address.
IGMP Click this button to open the IGMP Settings form. Use this form to enable
(default) or disable IGMP, and to configure how the RLX2 radio will behave
when IGMP is enabled.
VLAN Opens the VLAN Settings form. The Ethernet ports for the Master and its
associated Repeaters can be thought of as a distributed smart switch. The
Transporting of tagged frames to the appropriate remote Ethernet port is
automatic and does not require any settings. See VLAN Settings in this
section.
QoS Opens the QoS Settings form. Prioritization of frames using QoS is always
enabled in the RLX2 for packets received already marked with a priority value.
This page allows you to set the default priority for frames received without
any priority markings. See QoS Settings in this section.
Spanning Tree Opens the Spanning Tree Settings form.
Advanced Config Opens the Advanced Settings form.
Roam Control Opens the Roam Control Settings
