Wireless configuration
Radio configuration
4-32
Distance between APs
Not supported on: E-MSM430, E-MSM460, E-MSM466
Not available in Monitor or Sensor modes.
Use this parameter to adjust the receiver sensitivity of the AP only if:
You have more than one wireless AP installed in your location.
You are experiencing throughput problems.
In all other cases use the default setting of Large.
If you have installed multiple APs, reducing the receiver sensitivity helps to reduce the
amount of cross-talk between the wireless stations to better support roaming clients. It also
increases the probability that client stations connect with the nearest AP.
Available settings
Large: Accepts all clients.
Medium: Accepts clients with an RSSI greater than 15 dB.
Small: Accepts clients with an RSSI greater than 20 dB.
Note RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) is the difference between the amount of noise in
an environment and the wireless signal strength. It is expressed in decibels (dB). The higher
the number the stronger the signal.
Beacon interval
Not available in Monitor or Sensor modes.
Sets the number of time units (TUs) that the AP waits between transmissions of the wireless
beacon. One TU equals 1024 microseconds. The default interval is 100 TU, which is equal to
102.4 milliseconds. Supported range is from 20 to 500 TU.
Multicast Tx rate
Not available in Monitor or Sensor modes.
Use this parameter to set the transmit rate for multicast and broadcast traffic. This is a fixed
rate, which means that if a station is too far away to receive traffic at this rate, the multicast is
not be seen by the station.
Transmit power control
Not available in Monitor or Sensor modes.
Use these parameters to control the transmission power of the wireless radio.
Adjustments to the transmission power may be required for two reasons. First, when using an
optional external antenna, it may be necessary to reduce power levels to remain in
compliance with local regulations. Second, it may be necessary to reduce power levels to
avoid interference between APs and other radio devices.
