Operation

Chapter 5 - Command Line Interface

5.18.5 channel

This command configures the radio channel through which the AP communicates 
with wireless clients. 

channel <channel | auto>

• channel - Manually sets the radio channel used for communications with wireless clients. (Range for 

802.11b/g: 1 to 14)

• auto - Automatically selects an unoccupied channel (if available). Otherwise, the lowest channel 

is selected.

Automatic channel selection 

Interface Configuration (Wireless)

• The available channel settings are limited by local regulations, which determine the number of 

channels that are available. 

• When multiple APs are deployed in the same area, be sure to choose channels separated by at 

least four channels from each other . You can deploy up to three APs in the same area for 
802.11b/g (e.g., channels 1, 6, 11).

• When using Turbo Mode (Super G enabled), select channel 6.
• For most wireless adapters, the channel for wireless clients is automatically set to the same as that 

used by the AP to which it is linked.

5.18.6 transmit-power

This command adjusts the power of the radio signals transmitted from the AP.

transmit-power <signal-strength>

signal-strength - Signal strength transmitted from the AP. (Options: full, half, quarter, eighth, 
min)

full

Interface Configuration (Wireless)

• The “min” keyword indicates minimum power.
• The longer the transmission distance, the higher the transmission power required. But to support 

the maximum number of users in an area, you must keep the power as low as possible. Power 
selection is not just a trade off between coverage area and maximum supported clients. You also 
have to ensure that high strength signals do not interfere with the operation of other radio devices 
in your area.
