WS 2000 Use Cases 9-55
He clicks the toggle to the left of Access Ports in the left menu and selects the menu item labeled AP1. The WS 2000 has
found and queried the Access Port for its MAC address. Leo enters a new name for the Access Port, Eng-AP1, and its
location, Eng. Offices.
He sets the channel at 1, and notes the number. Access Ports channels should be separated as much as practical to minimize
interference between them. The other engineering Access Port will use channel 4 and the marketing Access Port will use
channel 7. He then sets the Power Level at the maximum setting of 100mW.
Leo leaves the Slowest Supported Rate and the Fastest Supported Rate as they are. The switch will operate at the
maximum rate allowed by radio conditions, scaling back as needed. He sees no reason to change those parameters.
He also sees no reason to change the settings for Antenna Diversity, Support Short Preamble, RTS Threshold, or
Beacon Settings. These parameters control some of the broadcast mechanics of an 802.11 conversation between mobile
units and Access Ports. In most cases, there is no reason to change them.
He clicks the Apply button to save his changes.
Leo then selects AP2, the second engineering Access Port. He gives it a new name, a location, and assigns it channel 48.
