Menu Descriptions

Registration Fill - Specifies whether FIND_ROUTER packets transmit-

ted during the registration process have a 1500-byte filler or not. This

filler is used to ensure only Routers with a good radio link to this device

will be considered in the registration process. The default setting is

enabled.

Spec. Router Time - Only used if Specified Router parameter is set (see

Setting the Specified Router

Sets the time-out after which the Aironet Client Card gives up trying to

can hear

The units of this parameter are 0.1 seconds. The value 65535

(FFFFH) cause an infinite time to be used thus forcing the device to reg-

ister to the specified Router and only that Router.

Refresh Period - Only applies to the ARLAN (Non-PSP) registration

mode. Sets the time that the device will wait to refresh its registration is

no other transmission has occurred. The units of this parameter are 0.01

second. Values can be entered in Decimal Mode or Hexadecimal Mode.

The value 0 causes a time of 60 seconds to be used, while a value of

65535 (FFFFH) causes an infinite time to be used, thus disabling

refresh.

ARL Threshold - Sets the ARL (Average Retry Level) Threshold. When

the cumulative ARL level reaches the threshold, the Aironet Client Card

will attempt to find a better Router to register to. Values can be entered

in Decimal Mode or Hexadecimal Mode. The value 0 causes a threshold

of 8 to be used. The value 255 (FFH) causes an infinite threshold to be

used (see also

ARL Decay

ARL Decay - Sets the ARL (Average Retry Level) Decay. After each

successful transmission, the cumulative ARL level is increased by the

number of retries that occurred and then decreased by this Decay. The

value 0 causes a decay of 1 to be used (see also
