Extreme Networks WiRanger Switch User Manual


 
6
Your WiRanger will be pre-configured to operate on 802.11g Radio
Channel 11. Ideally, your other 802.11g products should be configured
to work on a channel that is at least 5 channels apart from the one used
by the WiRanger.
For example, if the WiRanger is on channel 11 and you also have a
802.11b/g router. Then configure the router to operate on channel 6, or
lower.
NOTE: If required, you can view or change the current WiRanger
802.11g Radio Channel. See Advanced Setup – Viewing and
Changing the 802.11g Radio Channel on Page 9 for
instructions.
NOTE: The WiRanger does not broadcast an SSID and will not be
visible to a wireless network scan.
USB Cables
USB cables have two distinct connectors. The Type A connector is used
to connect the cable from a USB device to the Type A port on a
computer or hub. The Type B connector is used to attach the USB cable
to a USB device.

Compatibility
The WiRanger complies with USB 2.0 specifications governing the
design of high-speed USB devices. However, because of the data rate
limitations inherent in the IEEE 802.11g radio platform, Icron
Technologies Corporation does not guarantee that all USB devices are
compatible with the WiRanger.
In particular, webcams that use the BULK transfer protocol are not
supported. For more information on potential incompatibilities, please
see the FAQ page of the Icron Technologies Corporation website:

Or contact Technical Support for further assistance (see page 20).
