Rate Selection Methods
Select this option for the radio to dynamically change the number of transmit chains. This
option is enabled by default.
Select this option to enable a spinner control for client radio power transmissions in dBm.
The available range is 0 - 20 dBm.
Select this option to allow the access point radio to dynamically change the number of
transmit chains. This setting is disabled by default. The radio uses a single chain/antenna
for frames at non 802.11n data rates.
Once the radio band is provided, the Rate drop-down menu populates with rate options
depending on the 2.4 or 5.0 GHz band selected. If the radio band is set to Sensor or
Detector, the Data Rates drop-down menu is not enabled, as the rates are fixed and not
user configurable. If 2.4 GHz is selected as the radio band, select separate 802.11b,
802.11g and 802.11n rates and define how they are used in combination. If 5.0 GHz is
selected as the radio band, select separate 802.11a and 802.11n rates define how they
are used together. When using 802.11n (in either the 2.4 or 5.0 GHz band), Set a MCS
(modulation and coding scheme) in respect to the radio's channel width and guard
interval. A MCS defines (based on RF channel conditions) an optimal combination of 8
data rates, bonded channels, multiple spatial streams, different guard intervals and
modulation types. Clients can associate as long as they support basic MCS (as well as
non-11n basic rates).
For more information on 802.11n MCS rates, see
Use the drop-down menu to specify whether the radio is located Indoors or Outdoors. The
placement should depend on the selected country of operation and its regulatory domain
requirements for radio emissions. The default setting is Indoors.
Use the spinner control to set the maximum permissible client connections for this radio.
Set a value from 0 - 256. AP6522, AP6522M, AP6532, AP6562, AP8132, AP8232, AP7181
AP7131 and AP7161 model access points can support up to 256 clients per access point
or radio. AP6511 and AP6521 model access points can support up to 128 clients per
access point or radio.
Use the drop-down menu to specify the algorithm to use for rate selection. Select
Standard to use the standard rate selection algorithm. Select Opportunistic to use the
Opportunistic rate selection algorithm.
NOTE: AP7131, AP6522, AP6522M, AP6532, AP6562, AP8132, AP8232, AP7181 and
AP7161 model access points can support up to 256 client connections to a single access
point radio. AP6511 and AP6521 model access points (both single radio models) can
support up to 128 client connections to a single radio.
