Profile Name
Enter up to 31 alphanumeric characters to be used as this profile’s name. Spaces and
underscores are allowed.
underscores are allowed.
802.11 Band
Select the wireless band which this radio profile should use. Not all NWA/WACs support
both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands.
both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands.
2.4 GHz is the frequency used by IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless clients.
5 GHz is the frequency used by IEEE 802.11ac/a/n wireless clients.
If you set 802.11 Band to 2.4G, you can select from the following:
•
b/g: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the NWA/WAC. The NWA/WAC adjusts the transmission rate
automatically according to the wireless standard supported by the wireless devices.
•
b/g/n: allows IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the NWA/WAC. The transmission rate of your NWA/WAC
might be reduced.
If you set 802.11 Band to 5G, you can select from the following:
•
a: allows only IEEE 802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NWA/
WAC.
•
a/n: allows both IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11a compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the NWA/WAC. The transmission rate of your NWA/WAC might be
reduced.
•
ac: allows IEEE 802.11ac compliant WLAN devices to associate with the WAC.
Channel Width
Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless network.
Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in
your neighborhood.

Select 20/40 MHz to allow the NWA/WAC to choose the channel bandwidth (20 or 40
MHz) that has least interference.

40 or 80 MHz) that has least interference.
Channel
Selection
This is the radio channel which the signal will use for broadcasting by this radio profile.
•
DCS: Choose Dynamic Channel Selection to have the NWA/WAC choose a radio
channel that has least interference.
•
Manual: Choose from the available radio channels in the list. If your NWA/WAC is
outdoor type, be sure to choose non-indoors channels.
DCS Time
Interval
Enter a number of minutes. This regulates how often the NWA/WAC surveys the other
APs within its broadcast radius. If the channel on which it is currently broadcasting
suddenly comes into use by another AP, the NWA/WAC will then dynamically select the
next available clean channel or a channel with lower interference.

Select this to have the AP wait until all connected clients have disconnected before
switching channels.

If you disable this then the AP switches channels immediately regardless of any client
connections. In this instance, clients that are connected to the AP when it switches
channels are dropped.
