Description
Specifies the maximum data rate for generic data traffic for the radio.
MCS rates are available only for model RLX2-IHNF radios.

0 to 7 are available with one antenna. This is the default configuration.

To select rates of 8 and above, configure the Active Antennas parameter
to be A C, or A, B, C. See Max Data Rate (page 86) for a table of
AND
data rates.
Specifies the rate at which control packets such as beacons and acks are
sent as well as packets that need to go to the entire network such as
broadcasts.
Because the packets are intended for the whole network, the M
setting for the Master radio is advertised to each of the radios in the network
through beacons. Each radio, other than the Master radio, inherits the M
B R setting of the Master. Therefore, the setting only needs to be

made in the Master radio. This setting for all other radios is ignored.
Specifies the radio operating environment. The Radio Configuration /

based on the O F

to broadcasts not being transmitted when expected. RLX2 Bridging still
functions, although the RLX2-IHx series radios respond to all scanning

Specifies that the radio forwards multicast traffic immediately, rather than
waiting for specific time intervals.
Specifies that the radio does not respond to general probe requests that are
not specific to the radio's SSID.
Specifies that the radio rejects connections from 3
S B .
ECURE RIDGING
Specifies that the radio accounts for round trip delays. The R
should be the same in all radios in the network and should be at least large
enough to account for the length of any links.

Increasing the R

decrease in throughput.

Reducing the range setting for systems at closer range may improve
throughput.

The default L range is 25km, which is valid for all operating modes of
ONG
all radios.
Specifies how much the amount the output power of the radio is attenuated.
Zero implies no attenuation meaning the radio uses full power.
Specifies the number of active antennas. Available only for models RLX2-
IHNF and RLX2-IHW radios. See Active Antennas: RLX-IHNF (page 87) and
Active Antennas: RLX2-IHW (page 87).
