Mac_Optimize; Roam_Config - Proxim RangeLAN2 7500 User Manual

MAC_Optimize

This parameter can help improve throughput for small net-
works. If you have 8 or fewer wireless nodes communicating
with a RangeLAN2 7500 at the same time, set this parameter to
Light. (You can have more than 8 nodes synchronized to a
RangeLAN2 7500 but only 8 or fewer communicating at the
same time for the Light parameter setting.) In networks with
more than 8 concurrent wireless users, set the parameter to
Normal.
You need only set the MAC_Optimize parameter on a Master or
Alternate Master. Stations will ignore the parameter if it is set.
The MAC_Optimize settings are as follows:
Light
Normal

Roam_Config

The Roam_Config parameter allows you to determine how
quickly stations will roam from one RangeLAN2 7500 to
another. In areas with many RangeLAN2 7500 units that provide
heavy overlapping coverage, set this parameter to Fast to main-
tain high throughput for each of the wireless nodes.
In most networks, set the Roam_Config parameter to Normal.
Wireless node throughput will not change noticeably, and an
overabundance of RangeLAN2 7500 units is not required.
If the wireless coverage area provided by RangeLAN2 7500 units
is sparse, set the Roam_Config parameter to Slow. Wireless
node will not roam under they are nearly out of range of the
RangeLAN2 7500.
