Chapter 1: Ove rview 16 Features The main features of the product are listed here: Independent 2.4 and 5 GHz radios IEEE 802.11a/b/g IEEE 802.
AT-TQ2450 Wireless Acce ss Poi nt User’s Guide 17 Management Modes and Methods The access point has two management modes: Stand-alone mode: Access points in the stand-alone mode are managed independently of each ot her.
Chapter 1: Ove rview 18 Starting a Management Session on the Access Point This section explains how to sta rt a management session on the access from your management workstation. The procedure a ssumes that the access point has already been assigned an IP ad dress.
AT-TQ2450 Wireless Acce ss Poi nt User’s Guide 19 Starting the Initial Management Session on the Access Point If you just installed the device and are powering it on for the first time, it queries the subnet on the LAN port fo r a DHCP server. If a DHCP server responds to its query, the unit uses the IP address the server assigns to it.
Chapter 1: Ove rview 20 Starting the Initial Management Session with a Direct Connection To start the management se ssion with a direct Ethernet conne ction between your computer and the access port, .
AT-TQ2450 Wireless Acce ss Poi nt User’s Guide 21 connected to a port that is also a member of that VLAN. If your network is small and does not have VLANs or route rs, you may connect your computer to any port on the Etherne t switch. 2. Change the IP address on your computer to 192.
Chapter 1: Ove rview 22 Using the Management Menus and Windows Here is general information about the manage ment menus and windows. Web Browser Menus You may control the appearance o f the menus with the Navigator pull- down menu in the upper right corner of the web browser windows.

Here are the guidelines: - The Auto setting, the default setting, set s the channel automatically . The access point selects the channel with the least traffic.
Chapter 3: Manage Menu 46 Periodical Channel Refresh S pecifies whether the access point periodically reruns the channel selection process. Here are the guidelines: - This selection is only available when the Channel parameter is set to Auto. - Adding a check mark to the dialog box enables the feature.
AT-TQ2450 Wireless Acce ss Poi nt User’s Guide 47 Primary Channel S pecifies the location of the Primary channel when a radio is operating at 40 MHz. A 40 MHz channel consists of two 20 MHz channels. They are contigu ous in the frequency domain and referred to as the Primary and Secondary channels.
Chapter 3: Manage Menu 48 Short Guard Interval Supported S pecifies the dead time interval, in nanoseconds, between OFDM symbols. The guard interval prevent s Inter-Symbol and Inter-Carrier Interference (ISI, ICI). The 802.1 1n mode support s a reduction in the interval from 800 nanoseconds, defined in the a and g st andards, to 400 nanoseconds.
AT-TQ2450 Wireless Acce ss Poi nt User’s Guide 49 Multidomain Regulatory Mode S pecifies whether a radio should operate in the Multidomain Regulatory Mode (World Mode) a nd include the cou ntry code in its beacons and probe responses.
