Basic Rate The Basic Rate setting is not the rate of transmission but 
a series of rates at which the Services Ready Platform 
can transmit. The device advertises its basic rate to the 
other wireless devices in your network, so they know 
which rates will be used. The Services Ready Platform 
will also advertise that it will automatically select the 
best rate for transmission. 
The default setting is Default, when the device can 
transmit at all standard wireless rates (1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 
5.5 Mbps, 11 Mbps, 18 Mbps, 24 Mbps, 36 Mbps, 48 
Mbps, and 54 Mbps). In addition to B and G speeds, the 
device supports N speeds. Other options are 1-2 Mbps, 
for use with older wireless technology, and All, when the 
device can transmit at all wireless rates. 
The Basic Rate is not the actual rate of data transmission. 
If you want to specify the device rate of data 
transmission, configure the Transmission Rate setting.
Transmission Rate The rate of data transmission should be set depending 
on the speed of your wireless network. You can select 
from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select 
Auto to have the device automatically use the fastest 
possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. 
Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible 
connection speed between the device and a wireless 
client. The default is Auto.
