Overview
Channel Specifies which frequency your client adapter uses as the channel for
communications. These channels conform to the IEEE 802.11 standard
for your regulatory domain.
• In infrastructure mode, this parameter is set automatically and
cannot be changed. The client adapter listens to the entire
spectrum, selects the best access point to associate to, and uses the
same frequency as that access point.
• In ad hoc mode, the channel of the client adapter that is originating
the ad hoc cell must be configured. Immediately after being
configured, the client card scans the spectrum for an ad hoc cell
already established with the same SSID. If it finds one, it uses the
channel of that cell. If the client does not find a pre-established cell
within the timeout period, it establishes one at the configured
frequency.
Range: Dependent on regulatory domain.
Example: 1 to 11 (2412 to 2462 MHz) in North America.
Default: Dependent on regulatory domain.
Example: 6 (2437 MHz) in North America.
Note See Appendix A, “Technical Specifications,” for a list of
channel identifiers, channel center frequencies, and regulatory
domains for each channel.
Transmit Power Defines the level at which your client adapter transmits power. This
value must not be higher than that allowed by your country’s regulatory
agency (FCC in the U.S., DOC in Canada, ETSI in Europe, MKK in
Japan, and so on). When World Mode is enabled, only the transmit
power levels supported by the country of operation’s regulatory agency
are available.
Range: 1, 5, 15, 20, 30, 50, or 100 mW (30 mW is the maximum
power level supported by 340 series client adapters).
Default: The maximum level allowed by your country’s regulatory
agency.
Note 15 mW is supported only by 340 series client adapters, 20 and
100 mW is supported only by 350 series client adapters.
Note Reducing the transmit power level conserves battery power but
decreases radio range.
