Configuring the Transmit Rate
The default setting is the highest transmit rate supported by the RoamAbout PC Card; Fixed
is disabled. All RoamAbout PC Cards support, as a minimum, the 1 Mbit/s (Low) and 2
Mbit/s (Standard) transmit rates.
RoamAbout Access Point
To modify the transmit rate on the Access Point using the AP Manager, select the Access
Point from the Managed List field and click the Wireless Parameters button. In the
Wireless Parameters window, click the Advanced button. Use the Help button for a
detailed description of the transmit rate settings.
To modify the transmit rate using the console port, choose Module-Specific Options from
the RoamAbout Access Point Installation Menu. From the module-specific menu, choose
Set Wireless Configuration, then choose Set Transmit Rate. The Auto Rate Select
option allows the Access Point to transmit at its highest supported transmit rate and to
switch to the next lower supported rate when data transmissions fail more than once. The
xx Mbit/s Auto Rate is the same as Auto Rate Select, except that xx determines the Access
Point's highest transmit rate. If you do not want to change the transmit rate, press <Enter>
to go back to the previous menu.
RoamAbout Client
To modify the transmit rate settings on a client, perform the following:
1. Open the RoamAbout Driver Properties window, as described in the "Showing Current
Client Settings" section on page 5-21.
2. Click the Advanced tab. Press <F1> for information about the Advanced window.
3. Select the transmit rate.
4. Enable or disable the Fixed setting. When Fixed is enabled, the client does not
retransmit failed transmissions at a lower rate (auto rate is disabled).
5. Click OK to close the Properties window, and restart the computer when prompted.
