Figure 3-66 Licensed Narrowband (LN) Remote Advanced Settings
The Advanced Setting menu appears slightly different on APs than on Remotes.
Data Retries - Number of times to retry unicast data before declaring failure. Valid values:
0—15, DEFAULT = 3.
Packet TTL (Time-to-Live) – Length of time, in milliseconds, of inactivity of all over-the-air
traffic before registering a disconnection. The radio will then attempt to reconnect to the
network. Valid values: 100 to 65535 ms, DEFAULT = 2000 (2 seconds).
Remote Age Time – Length of time, in seconds, of inactivity of a remote before it is
disconnected. Valid values: 180-4294967295 seconds, DEFAULT = 600 (10 minutes).
Endpoint Age Time (AP only) - Length of time in seconds of inactivity on an endpoint before
it is removed from the endpoint database. Range of 0 to 4294967295 seconds.
DEFAULT = 300 (5 minutes).
Allow Retransmit (AP only) – All traffic from the remotes is sent to the AP. When enabled
the AP will retransmit traffic from one remote to another based on the MAC address. It will
also resend any remotes broadcast traffic to all other remotes. Disabled by DEFAULT.
NIC ID (Remote only) – ADVANCED SETTING - DO NOT CHANGE - Manually
overrides the NIC identifier.
ARP Cache – Enabled by DEFAULT. When enabled, the radio will respond to ARP requests
intended for other network devices with known addresses. It will not forward the ARP to the
intended device. This is similar to ARP proxy.
QAM 16 Threshold – When the radio is using automatic modulation, it will automatically
switch to QAM 16 modulation when the averaged calculated RSSI value drops below this
value. Valid values: -100 to 0 dBm, DEFAULT = -85 dBm. If you set the value to 0, this
modulation is disabled.
QAM 64 Threshold – When the radio is using automatic modulation, it will automatically
switch to QAM 64 modulation when the averaged calculated RSSI value drops below this
