[MLB-WIRELESS] [NODEEAI] Channel Mgmnt

[Greg]

Considering that everyone that I netstumbled at the last meeting were using
CH#11 and everyone has the ssid: wireless.org.au....

I would like to suggest that we all use SSID: wireless.org.au NODE??? for
better identification,
and move to a channel where the legal (EIRP) Power output is at the maximum
considering a lot of nodes will use high gain directional antenna's.

Should this agreed channel be between CH# 1 to CH# 9 regarding the
following?

Have given the matter of spectrum management some thought. The only answer
here is to put the WLAN on the highest Australian channel (around 2450 MHz
centre freq), so ATV and satellite operation can use the lower end of the
band. Unfortunately, the cards default to channel 10, which has a maximum
EIRP limit of 200 mW, instead of the 4W limit of channels 1-9.

I personally have been using CH#10 on my operating NODEEAI AP, but I can
change it to any channel that is agreed on, though my Verticle Omni is
putting out low power at the moment because of  high losses in the
feedline;-( 

This should change in the near future though, eh Glen?
