FIP-2420 User Manual 7.2. RF Configuration In this section, you can modify six parameters. TX Rate(Default: QPSK FEC 1/2) This setting determines the modulation type and the rate at which the data is wirelessly transferred. For example: Auto: The data will be transmitted at the highest possible rate in consideration of the receive signal...

FIP-2420 User Manual Channel Bandwidth(Default: 4Mhz) The bandwidth channel can be selected from the list. Note: Before choosing the bandwidth please refer to the specifications to see the relationship and performance between channel bandwidth , throughput and sensitivity. Generally a larger channel has greater throughput at the cost of sensitivity, while a smaller channel tends to be more robust, but at the cost of throughput.
