wired interface. This can signicantly improve
the throughput in networks with a high volume
of multicast trafc that does not need to be sent
to clients sharing this access point (e.g.
Pronet/Minegem), but it will prevent
Minephones from making Push–To–Talk calls to
other Minephones currently on the same access
point..
1 Mbit/s - Only raise this if there
are issues with multicast trafc
throughput.
The rate at which multicast trafc is transmitted, in
Mbits/s (turbo rate). Higher data rates will increase
transmission speed but decrease the range at which
the transmissions can be received.
Multicast Tx
Rate
Default 300s. Lower times may
improve roaming performance, but
will generate more network trafc.
The number of seconds before a wireless device (e.g.
a MinePhone or Data Logger) will time out from the
Access Point.

Selecting the wireless security
Four security modes exist:Security Mode
• None: No wireless authentication is required and
trafc is not encrypted.
mode will display mode-specic
conguration options.
• WEP: is the original wireless encryption
standard. This is rarely used.
• WPA Personal: provides a higher level of
security and does not use a centralised
authentication server.
• WPA Enterprise: as per WPA Personal but a
RADIUS authentication server is used.
Note: After a unit is reset to factory defaults, it will have a single wireless network on channel 6
with the name "AP------" (the last six digits of the unit's MAC address), WPA2-AES security enabled
and the password "minesite".
3.5.6 Configuring EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol)
The Wireless EAP conguration screen is used to congure wireless authentication by a RADIUS server
(as used by WPA Enterprise).
