Field Description
MAC Addresses
(Shown on
dual-band AP
only)
Indicates the Media Access Control (MAC) addresses for the interface.
On the dual band AP only, the MAC addresses for Radio Interface One
(Internal/Guest) and Radio Interface Two (Internal/Guest) are shown.
A MAC address is a permanent, unique hardware address for any device
that represents an interface to the network. The MAC address is assigned
by the manufacturer.
You cannot change the MAC address. It is provided here for informational
purposes as a unique identifier for an interface.
Mode The Mode defines the Physical Layer (PHY) standard being used by the
radio.
The Gateway 7001 AP is available in a dual band and single band version.
The configuration options for Mode differ depending on which product you
have.
Single-Band AP:
For the Single-Band AP, select one of these modes:
• IEEE 802.11b
• IEEE 802.11g
Dual-Band AP:
For the dual band access point, select a mode for each Radio Interface.
For Radio Interface One, select either of these modes:
• IEEE 802.11b
• IEEE 802.11g
For Radio Interface Two, select either of these modes:
• IEEE 802.11a
• Atheros Turbo 5 GHz (IEEE 802.11a Turbo)
Channel Select the Channel. The range of channels and the default is determined
by the Mode of the radio interface.
The
Channel
defines the portion of the radio spectrum the radio uses for
transmitting and receiving. Each mode offers a number of channels,
dependent on how the spectrum is licensed by national and international
authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or the
International Telecommunication Union (ITU-R).
The default is Auto, which picks the least busy channel at startup time, out
of the allowed channels.
