Advanced Configuration 5-9

August 2003

Table 5-1. Advanced Wireless Settings Fields

Field Description

Operating Mode

You can select the following options:

• Wireless Access Point

• Point-to-Point Bridge

• Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge

Worldwide Mode If you enable 802.11d, you will have access to additional regulatory domains.

Broadcast Wireless

Network Name

(SSID)

If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can

connect. Disabling SSID broadcast nullifies the wireless network ‘discovery’ feature

of some products such as Windows XP.

Wireless Separation Enable wireless separation avoid channel assignment interference.

Basic Rate This field determines which data communications rate will be used. It should not be

necessary to change from the default of Auto-negotiate unless you notice

interference problems. There are times when lowering the data rate will help assure

a more reliable wireless connection.

Parameters

Use these parameters to set the radio frequency communications settings.

RTS Threshold The packet size used to determine whether it should use the CSMA/CD (Carrier

Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) or the CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense

Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) mechanism for packet transmission.

Fragmentation

Length

This is the maximum packet size used for fragmentation. Packets larger than the

size programmed in this field will be fragmented. The Fragment Threshold value

must be larger than the RTS Threshold value.

Beacon Interval Specifies the data beacon rate between 20 and 3000.

Preamble Type A long transmit preamble may provide a more reliable connection or slightly longer

range. A short transmit preamble gives better performance. Long is the default.

Antenna Selection

You can select the following options:

• Primary (R)

• Secondary (L)

• Diversity - note that ME103 diversity is provided in receive mode only, not in

transmit mode. The PRIMARY RF port provides transmit and receive. The

SECONDARY provides receive mode only.

Output Power

Level

Lowering the output power level lets you reduce the chance of interference with

other nearby access points and reduces the coverage range. You can set the power

output level of the transmitter to these options: 18dbm (64mw), 17dbm (50mw),

15dbm (30mw), 13dbm (20mw), 7dbm (5mw), 0dbm (1mw).
