Rate Selection Methods
Set the antenna from 0.00 - 30.00 dBm. The access point's Power Management Antenna
Configuration File (PMACF) automatically configures the access point's radio transmit
power based on the antenna type, its antenna gain (provided here) and the deployed
country's regulatory domain restrictions. Once provided, the access point calculates the
power range. Antenna gain relates the intensity of an antenna in a given direction to the
intensity that would be produced ideally by an antenna that radiates equally in all
directions (isotropically), and has no losses. Although the gain of an antenna is directly
related to its directivity, its gain is a measure that takes into account the efficiency of the
antenna as well as its directional capabilities. Motorola Solutions recommends only a
professional installer set the antenna gain. The default value is 0.00.
Set the number of transmit and receive antennas on the access point. 1x1 is used for
transmissions over just a single "A" antenna, 1x3 is used for transmissions over the "A"
antenna and all three antennas for receiving. 2x2 is used for transmissions and receipts
over two antennas for dual antenna models. The default setting is dynamic based on the
access point model deployed and its transmit power settings.
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).
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, AP6532, AP6562, AP8132, 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.
