BreezeACCESS 2.4 Series
IP Address – Displays the current IP address of the unit and allows entry
of a new IP address (4 x 3 digit octets, separated by dots). The default IP
Address is 010.000.000.001.
Subnet Mask – Displays the current subnet mask of the unit and allows
entry of a new subnet mask (4 x 3 digit octets, separated by dots). The
default mask is 255.000.000.000.
Default Gateway Address – Displays the current address of the default
gateway of the unit and allows entry of a new default gateway address (4 x
3 digit octets, separated by dots). The default gateway address is
000.000.000.000.
ESS ID – The ESSID (Extended Service Set ID) of the unit (up to 32 printable
ASCII characters). The ESSID is a string used to identify a wireless network. It
prevents the unintentional merging of two co-located wireless networks. An
SU can only associate with an AU that has an identical ESSID. Use different
ESSIDs to segment the wireless access network and add security to your
network. The default value is ESSID1.
Note: The ESSID string is case-sensitive.
Maximum Data Rate – Displays the current maximum data rate, and
allows entry of a new value for the maximum data rate. BreezeACCESS
units operate at 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps or 3 Mbps. Under certain conditions
(compatibility reasons or range/speed trade-off), you may decide to limit
the use of higher rates. If the quality of the link is not good enough, it is
recommended to decrease the value of this parameters (the higher the date
rate, the higher the error rate). The link quality can be estimated based on
the RSSI measurement at the SU, assuming that the RF link budgets are the
same for both directions. Otherwise, there is a high probability that the unit
will have to retransmit many frames several times before temporarily
reducing the data rate.
A high number of retransmissions reduces the overall throughput for the
selected SU as well as for all the other SUs served by the same AU. If the
