connect to the specified radio for voice traffic. Limiting the number of MUs can ensure that all voice MUs
receive enough bandwidth to ensure voice quality. Admission control is only available for TSPEC enabled
voice clients.

allowed to roam to this radio. Limiting the number of MUs can ensure that all voice MUs receive enough
bandwidth to ensure voice quality. Admission control is only available for TSPEC enabled voice clients.

Configuring Rate Settings
Use the Rate Settings
the radio to sync with networks using varying data rates and allows the radio to default to a predefined set
of data rates when higher data rates cannot be maintained.
To configure a radio's rate settings:
1. Click the Rate Settings
defined for the radio.
2. Check the boxes next to all
Basic Rates are used for management frames, broadcast traffic and multicast frames. If a rate is selected
as a basic rate it is automatically selected as a supported rate.
3. Check the boxes next to all
Specify a period for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). This is a
divisor of the beacon interval (in milliseconds), for example, 10 : 100. (See "Beacon
Interval," above). A DTIM is periodically included in the beacon frame transmitted
from adopted Access Ports. The DTIM period determines how often the beacon
contains a DTIM, for example, 1 DTIM for every 10 beacons. The DTIM indicates
that broadcast and multicast frames (buffered at the Access Port) are soon to
arrive. These are simple data frames that require no acknowledgement, so nodes
sometimes miss them. Increase the DTIM/beacon settings (lengthening the time)
to let nodes sleep longer and preserve their battery life. Decrease these settings
(shortening the time) to support streaming-multicast audio and video applications
that are jitter-sensitive. The default DTIM period is 2 beacons.
When an Access Port increases its power to compensate for a failed Access Port,
power is increased to the country's regulatory maximum. Set the Self Healing
Offset to reduce the country's regulatory maximum power if Access Ports are
situated close to each other or if Access Ports s use external antennas. For
additional information on determining the offset value, see the documentation
shipped with the Access Port.
