WLAN
Configuration
The NXC-8160 supports two radios at the same time. That means you can have two
separate wireless networks on the NXC-8160. They can be in the same or different
802.11 mode.
Select the radio (Radio 1, Radio 2) you want to configure in this screen.
Channel Options
802.11 Mode Select 802.11a to allow only IEEE 802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate
with the NXC-8160.
Select 802.11b to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to associate
with the NXC-8160.
Select 802.11g to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate
with the NXC-8160.
Select 802.11 Mixed b/g to allow both IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g compliant
WLAN devices to associate with the NXC-8160. The transmission rate of your NXC-
8160 might be reduced.
Select Inactive to disable Radio 2.
Channel Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region.
The options vary depending on the 802.11 mode you selected and the country you
are in.
Note: The same channel cannot be assigned to both radios.
Maximum
Retries
Enter a number (from one to 15) to specify how many times the NXC-8160 tries to
send a packet when the transmission fails.
Enable Rate
Adaption
Select the check box to have the NXC-8160 operate at the best possible
transmission (data) rate. The NXC-8160 can switch between the data rates with the
Adapt check box selected.
When the communication quality drops below a certain level, the NXC-8160
automatically switches to a lower transmission (data) rate. Transmission at lower
data speeds is usually more reliable. However, when the communication quality
improves again, the NXC-8160 gradually increases the transmission (data) rate
again until it reaches the highest available transmission rate.
