 Link Distance: Set to an approximate maximum distance between any two nodes in
meters, e.g., 5000 for 5km (default). It is important to set the link distance to allow
enough time for packets to propagate over the air. Failing to set the link distance to an
approximate maximum distance can result in over the air collisions and a degradation
of performance. It is recommended to set the link distance 10-15% greater than the
actual maximum distance.
 Apply: Apply the new frequency and bandwidth values. Frequency and bandwidth
will change back to the default settings after a reboot.
 Save and Apply: The new value for the frequency and bandwidth will be set as the
default value.
 Total Transmit Power: This defines the total power of the signal (power is divided
equally between the radio antenna ports).
 Apply: Apply the new transmit power value. Value will change back to the default
setting after reboot.
 Save and Apply: Set the new transmit power as the default value.
 Wired Backbone Gateway: This setting pertains to wired backbone functionality
(See Section 6: Wired Backbone) For normal operation, set Wired Backbone
Gateway to enable. If multiple radios will be connected to a wired backbone, only one
radio should be enabled as a Wired Backbone Gateway and all others on the wireline
should be disabled.
 Routing Beacons on Ethernet Port: For radios to be able to communicate and
transfer data over a wired link, routing information needs to be sent over the wireline.
These packets are broadcast packets that are sent even if there is only one radio on the
network. If wired backbone is not being utilized, the user can disable these routing
beacons to prevent loading their local network with these routing packets.
 Apply: Apply the new Gateway value. Value will change back to the default setting
after reboot.
 Save and Apply: Set the new Gateway power as the default value.
