Advanced Access Port Settings
The WS 2000 Wireless Switch GUI allows the administrator to configure the Access Port settings. To examine or change
that information:
1. Select Network Configuration --> Wireless --> Access Ports from the left menu and then click the + to the left of
the menu item. The detected Access Ports will be listed under the menu item.
Uniform Spreading
(only AP 300)
a
Check this checkbox to enable the Uniform Spreading feature of the AP 300. To comply with
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements in the European Union, the 802.11a radio
on AP 300 Access Ports will come up on a random channel each time it is powered on.
To change the channel on the 802.11a radio for an AP 300
Access Port, this box MUST be unchecked.
Support Short
Preamble
b/g
Check the Support Short Preamble box to allow the Access Port to communicate with the
MUs using a short 56-bit preamble.
A preamble is the beginning part of a frame. The preamble comprises such elements as
robust carrier sensing, collision detection, equalizer training, timing recovery, and gain
adjustment. The administration can choose between a long or short preamble for data-frame
transmission from the WLAN’s adopted Access Ports.
Use the long preamble setting (the default) for legacy wireless equipment that is not capable
of dealing with short preambles. Use the short preamble setting where legacy equipment is
not an issue and maximum throughput is desired, for example when streaming video or
Voice-over-IP applications are used.
802.11 b/g mode
b/g
Use this menu to set radio rates on the Access Port to one of the following settings:
B and G: Clients that support 802.11b and/or 802.11g rates may associate with the Access
Port.
G only: Only clients that support 802.11g rates may associate with the Access Port.
B only: Only clients that support 802.11b rates may associate with the Access Port.
