4-100 Motorola RF Switch System Reference Guide
15.Antenna Gain relates the intensity of an antenna in a given direction to the intensity that would be
produced by a hypothetical antenna that radiates equally in all directions and has no losses.
16.Radio-Mode displays the radio operating mode.
17.To configure optional rate settings, click the Rate Settings button to display a new dialogue containing
rate setting information. Instructions on configuring rate settings is described in Configuring Rate
Settings on page 4-103.
18.In most cases, the default settings for the Advanced Properties are sufficient. If needed, additional
Advanced Properties can be modified for the following:
NOTE: This field is available only with AP 7131, AP 7181, and AP 650.
Antenna Diversity Use the drop-down menu to configure the Antenna Diversity settings for Access
Ports using external antennas. Options include:
• Full Diversity - Utilizes both antennas to provide antenna diversity.
• Primary Only - Enables only the primary antenna.
• Secondary Only - Enables only the secondary antenna.
• MIMO: Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output. This field is only available with
type ‘n’ radios.
Antenna Diversity should only be enabled if the Access Port has two matching
external antennas. Default value is Full Diversity.
Maximum MUs Sets the maximum number of MUs that can associate to a radio. The maximum
number of MUs that can associate to a radio is 64.
Adoption Preference
ID
Displays the preference ID of the switch.The value can be set between 1 and 65535.
To define the radios as preferred, the Access Port preference ID should be the same
as adoption preference ID.
The adoption preference ID is used for AP load-balancing. A switch will
preferentially adopt APs, which have the same adoption-preference-ID as the
switch itself.
Short Preambles only If using an 802.11bg radio, select this checkbox for the radio to transmit using a
short preamble. Short preambles improve throughput. However, some devices
(SpectraLink phones) require long preambles. This checkbox does not display if
using an 802.11a radio.
