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
information.
2. Check the boxes next to all the
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
When an access port increases its power to compensate for a
failure, power is increased to the country's regulatory maximum.
Set the Self Healing Offset to reduce the country's regulatory
maximum power if access ports are situated close to each other or
if an access port uses an external antenna.
Select the DTIM periods button to specify a period for Delivery
Traffic Indication Messages (DTIM) for BSS IDs 1-4. This is a divisor
of the beacon interval (in milliseconds), for example, 10 : 100. (See
"Beacon Interval," above). A DTIM is periodically included in the
beacon frame transmitted from adopted access ports. The DTIM
period determines how often the beacon contains a DTIM, for
example, 1 DTIM for every 10 beacons. The DTIM indicates
broadcast and multicast frames (buffered at the access port) are
soon to arrive. These are simple data frames that require no
acknowledgement, so nodes sometimes miss them. Increase the
DTIM/beacon settings (lengthening the time) to let nodes sleep
longer and preserve their battery life. Decrease these settings
(shortening the time) to support streaming-multicast audio and
video applications that are jitter-sensitive. The default DTIM period
is 10 beacons for BSS 1-4.
