Problem 5:
The throughput seems slow.
Solution 5:
1. To achieve maximum throughput, verify that your antennas are well-placed, not
behind metal, and do not have too many obstacles between them. If you move the
client closer to the Access Point and throughput increases, you may want to con-
sider adding a second Access Point and implementing roaming.
2. If you have an AP Controller on the network, check the Harmony System's filter
settings to confirm that it is not forwarding unnecessary Ethernet traffic to mobile
clients.
Problem 6:
How do I upgrade the firmware on an Access Point?
Solution 6:
Periodically, Proxim makes new Flash Code available for Harmony Access Points on
Proxim's Web site at http://www.proxim.com/support/. You can update an Access
Point's Flash Code using the Harmony System's Web browser interface or an Access
Point upgrade tool (which will be posted on Proxim's Web site with new Flash Code
versions). If you have AP Controller on the network, refer to the Harmony Access Point
Controller Model 7560 User's Guide for details.
