Table 18: Wireless Settings - D-Link DWL-3600AP Administrator's Manual

Unified Access Point Administrator's Guide
Table 18 describes the fields and configuration options available on the Wireless Settings page.
Field Description
TSPEC Violation Specify the time interval (in seconds) for the AP to report (through the system log and
Interval SNMP traps) associated clients that do not adhere to mandatory admission control
procedures.
Radio Interface Specify whether you want the radio interface on or off.
MAC Address Indicates the Media Access Control (MAC) addresses for the interface. Dual‐radio APs have
a unique MAC address for each radio.
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 the radio uses.
Note: The modes available depend on the country code setting and the radio selected.
Select one of the following modes for radio 1 (DWL‐6600AP and DWL‐8600AP only):
• IEEE 802.11a is a PHY standard that specifies operating in the 5 GHz U‐NII band using
• IEEE 802.11a/n operates in the 5 GHz ISM band and includes support for both 802.11a
• 5 GHz IEEE 802.11n is the recommended mode for networks with 802.11n devices that
Select one of the following modes for radio 2:
• IEEE 802.11b/g operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. IEEE 802.11b is an enhancement of
• IEEE 802.11b/g/n operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and includes support for 802.11b,
• 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n is the recommended mode for networks with 802.11n devices

and 802.11n devices. IEEE 802.11n is an extension of the 802.11 standard that includes
multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) technology. IEEE 802.11n supports data ranges
of up to 248 Mbps and nearly twice the indoor range of 802.11 b, 802.11g, and

the initial 802.11 PHY to include 5.5 Mbps and 11 Mbps data rates. It uses direct
sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) or frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) as
well as complementary code keying (CCK) to provide the higher data rates. It supports
data rates ranging from 1 to 11 Mbps. IEEE 802.11g is a higher speed extension (up to
54 Mbps) to the 802.11b PHY. It uses orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
(OFDM). It supports data rates ranging from 1 to 54 Mbps.

IEEE 802.11n can achieve a higher throughput when it does not need to be compatible
with legacy devices (802.11b/g).
