Specifying Coverage Area Properties
To specify coverage area properties:
1 In the Name box for each technology, type a name for the coverage area
(1 to 60 characters long, with no tabs).
2 In the Rate [Mb/s] list for each technology, select the average desired
association rate for typical clients in this coverage area.
3 For 802.11g, to prevent the association of 802.11b clients to any radio in
this coverage area, select Exclude 802.11b clients. To allow 802.11b
clients to associate to radios in the coverage area, clear Exclude 802.11b
clients.
Even when association of 802.11b clients is disabled, if an 802.11b/g
radio detects a beacon from an 802.11b network, the radio enters
protection mode to protect against interference.
