Select Enable Radio to automatically enable the From the Enable Radio drop-down menu, select a schedule for when the You can create a new schedule by selecting Create new schedule.
Select your preferred radio mode from the Mode drop-down menu. The wireless security appliance supports the following modes:. Allows only Supports If your wireless network comprises multiple types of clients, select this mode. This is the default. Select this mode if only If your wireless network consists only of You might also select this mode if you wish to prevent Other clients are unable to connect under this restricted radio mode.
TIP: For Use the NOTE: The available The Primary Channel and Standard Channel drop-down menus then display a choice of available sensitive channels.
Does not support Auto - Allows the appliance to automatically detect and set the optimal channel for wireless operation based on signal strength and integrity. This is the default setting. Use Auto unless you have a specific reason to use or avoid specific channels.
Specific channel — You can select a single channel within the range of your regulatory domain. Selecting a specific channel also can help with avoiding interference with other wireless networks in the area.
NOTE: When the wireless radio is configured for a mode that supports For Standard - 20MHz Channel —Specifies that the When this option is selected, the Standard Channel drop-down menu is displayed instead of the Primary Channel and Secondary Channel options.
Standard Channel —This drop-down menu only displays when the 20MHz channel is selected. By default, this is set to Auto , which allows the appliance to set the optimal channel based on signal strength and integrity. Optionally, you can select a single channel within the range of your regulatory domain.
Selecting a specific a channel can also help with avoiding interference with other wireless networks in the area. The available channels depend on which Radio you are configuring:.

Primary Channel —By default this is set to Auto. Optionally, you can specify a specific primary channel. The available channels are the same as for Enable Short Guard Interval —Specifies the short guard interval of ns as opposed to the standard guard interval of ns. A guard interval is a set amount of time between transmissions that is designed to ensure distinct transmissions do not interfere with one another. The guard interval introduces immunity to propagation delays, echoes, and reflections.
An access point identifies any signal content received inside this interval as unwanted inter-symbol interference, and rejects that data. The guard interval is a pause in transmission intended to avoid data loss from interference or multipath delays. The Enabling a short guard interval can decrease network overhead by reducing unnecessary idle time on each access point. A short guard interval of nanoseconds ns works in most office environments as distances between points of reflection, as well as between clients, are short.
Most reflections are received quickly. The shorter the guard interval, the more efficiency there is in the channel usage, but a shorter guard interval also increases the risk of interference. Some outdoor deployments might, however, require a longer guard interval. The need for a long guard interval of ns becomes more important as areas become larger, such as in warehouses and in outdoor environments, as reflections and echoes become more likely to continue after the short guard interval would be over.
The guard interval is a pause in transmission intended to avoid data loss from interference or multipath delays and increase Ensure the wireless client also can support a short guard interval to avoid compatibility issues. Select Enable Aggregation to enable Data over wireless networks are sent as a stream of packets known as data frames.
Frame aggregation takes these packets and combines them into fewer, larger packets, thereby allowing an increase in overall performance. Frame aggregation was added to the Frame aggregation is a feature that only Ensure the wireless client also can support aggregation to avoid compatibility issues.
