Configuring Rate Settings. Use the Rate Settings screen to define a set of basic and supported rates for the
target radio. This allows the radio to sync with networks using varying data rates and allows the radio
to default to a predefined set of data rates when higher data rates cannot be maintained.
To configure Rate Settings for a radio:
1 Click the Rate Settings button within the radio edit screen to launch a new screen with rate setting
information.
2 Check the boxes next to all the Basic Rates you want supported.
Basic Rates are used for management frames, broadcast traffic and multicast frames. If a rate is
selected as a basic rate it is automatically selected as a supported rate.
3 Check the boxes next to all the Supported Rates you want supported.
Supported rates allow an 802.11 network to specify the data rate it supports. When a MU attempts to
join the network, it checks the data rate used on the network. If a rate is selected as a basic rate, it is
automatically selected as a supported rate. The basic default rates for an 802.11a radio differ from
those 802.11b default rates, as an 802.11a radio can support a maximum data rate of 54Mbps, while
an 802.11b radio can support a maximum data rate of 11Mbps.
