Create New
Object
Select an item from this menu to create a new object of that type.
Any objects created in this way are automatically linked to this radio
profile.
General Settings
Activate
Select this option to make this profile active.
Profile Name
Enter up to 31 alphanumeric characters to be used as this profile’s
name. Spaces and underscores are allowed.
802.11 Band
Select the wireless band which this radio profile should use.
2.4 GHz is the frequency used by IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless clients.
5 GHz is the frequency used by IEEE 802.11a/n wireless clients.
Channel
Select the wireless channel which this radio profile should use.
It is recommended that you choose the channel least in use by other
APs in the region where this profile will be implemented. This will
reduce the amount of interference between wireless clients and the
AP to which this profile is assigned.
Advanced Settings
Channel Width
Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless
network.
Select Auto to allow the NXC to adjust the channel bandwidth
depending on network conditions.
Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other
wireless devices in your neighborhood.
Guard Interval
Set the guard interval for this radio profile to either short or long.
The guard interval is the gap introduced between data transmission
from users in order to reduce interference. Reducing the interval
increases data transfer rates but also increases interference.
Increasing the interval reduces data transfer rates but also reduces
interference.
Enable A-MPDU
Aggregation
Select this to enable A-MPDU aggregation.
Message Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) aggregation collects Ethernet
frames along with their 802.11n headers and wraps them in a
802.11n MAC header. This method is useful for increasing bandwidth
throughput in environments that are prone to high error rates.
A-MPDU Limit
Enter the maximum frame size to be aggregated.
A-MPDU
Subframe
Enter the maximum number of frames to be aggregated each time.
