    Chapter 5 - Command Line Interface Default Setting Null Command Mode Installer, Admin Example Installer# set ClientSta key-1 0x12345678901234567890123456789012 Installer# 5.9.6 set ClientSta linkrate This command sets the maximum data rate at which the SU-A-EZ transmits unicast packets on the wireless interface. The maximum transmission distance is affected by the data rate.

  • Page 103: Set Clientsta Modulation

    Wireless Commands Command Mode Installer, Admin Example Installer# set ClientSta mangVLAN 4094 Installer# 5.9.8 set ClientSta modulation This command allows you to set fixed or dynamic (limited) transmission rate. If the modulation is set to fixed, the data transmission rate will be set by the link rate.
