E-EQ-VX6RG-J VX6 Reference Guide
Radio Mode
Specify 802.11a, 802.11b and/or 802.11g rates when communicating with AP. The options
displayed for this parameter depend on the type of radio (802.11b/g or 802.11a/b/g) installed in
the mobile device.
Options: B rates only (1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbps)
BG Rates Full (All B and G rates)
G rates only (6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps)
BG optimized or BG subset (1, 2, 5.5, 6, 11, 24, 36 and 54 Mbps))
A rates only (6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps)
ABG Rates Full (All A rates and all B and G rates with A rates preferred)
BGA Rates Full (All B and G rates and all A rates with B and G rates preferred)
Ad Hoc
Default: BG Rates Full (for 802.11b/g radio)
BGA Rates Full (for 802.11a/b/g radio)
Note: For the802.11 b/g radio, some SCU versions may have the default set as BG Optimized
rather than BG Rates Full.
It is important this parameter correspond to the AP to which the device is to connect. For
example, if this parameter is set to G rates only the LXE device may only connect to APs set for G
rates and not those set for B and G rates.
The options for this parameter should be set as follows:
Antenna Configuration Radio Mode
A Main and BG Main ABG Rates Full
BGA Rates Full
A Main and A Aux A Rates Only
BG Main and BG Aux B Rates Only
G Rates Only
BG Rates Full
BG Subset
A Main only A Rates Only
BG Main only B Rates Only
G Rates Only

BG Rates Subset
Please contact your LXE representative if you have questions about the antenna(s) installed on
your VX6.
Infrastructure Mode vs. Ad Hoc Mode
• When any of the options except Ad Hoc are selected, the radio is in Infrastructure
Mode, meaning the radio attempts to associate with an AP.
• When Ad Hoc mode is selected, the radio attempts to connect to another client radio.
Both client radios must be in Ad Hoc mode and have the same SSID specified.
