Antenna Gain Set the antenna between 0.00 - 30.00 dBm. The access point's Power
Management Antenna Configuration File (PMACF) automatically configures
the access point's radio transmit power based on the antenna type, its antenna
gain (provided here) and the deployed country's regulatory domain restrictions.
Once provided, the access point calculates the power range. Antenna gain
relates the intensity of an antenna in a given direction to the intensity that
would be produced ideally by an antenna that radiates equally in all directions
(isotropically), and has no losses. Although the gain of an antenna is directly
related to its directivity, its gain is a measure that takes into account the
efficiency of the antenna as well as its directional capabilities. Motorola
Solutions recommends that only a professional installer set the antenna gain.
The default value is 0.00.
Antenna Mode Set the number of transmit and receive antennas on the access point. 1x1 is
used for transmissions over just the single "A" antenna. 2x2 is used for
transmissions and receipts over two antennas for dual antenna models. The
default setting is dynamic based on the access point model deployed and its
transmit power settings.
Enable Antenna Select the radio button to enable the radio to have antenna diversity for
Diversity transmit frames at non 802.11n data rates. This setting is disabled by default.
Wireless Client Select the radio button to manually set the radio's transmission power (in dBm)
Power to connected clients. The setting is disabled by default.
Dynamic Chain Select the radio button for the radio to dynamically change the number of
Selection transmit chains. This option is enabled by default.
Data Rates Once the radio band is provided, the drop-down menu populates with rate
options depending on the 2.4 or 5 GHz band selected. If the radio band is set
to Sensor or Detector, the Data Rates drop-down menu is not enabled, as the
rates are fixed and not user configurable. If 2.4 GHz is selected as the radio
band, select separate 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n rates and define how they
are used in combination. If 5 GHz is selected as the radio band, select separate
802.11a and 802.11n rates then define how they are used together. When
using 802.11n (in either the 2.4 or 5 GHz band), Set a MCS (modulation and
coding scheme) in respect to the radio's channel width and guard interval. A
MCS defines (based on RF channel conditions) an optimal combination of 8
data rates, bonded channels, multiple spatial streams, different guard
intervals and modulation types. Clients can associate as long as they support
basic MCS (as well as non-11n basic rates).
Radio Placement Use the drop-down menu to specify whether the radio is located Indoors or
Outdoors. The placement should depend on the country of operation selected
and its regulatory domain requirements for radio emissions. The default
setting is Indoors.
Max Clients Use the spinner control to set a maximum permissible number of clients to
connect with this access point radio. The available range is between 1- 256 for
AP-7131, AP-6532 and AP-7161 models and from 1-128 for AP-6511 and
AP-6532 models.
