associate with an AP that has the same ESSID. Use different ESSIDs to
segment the WLAN network and add security.
Note: The ESSID is case-sensitive.
• Maximum Data Rate – Maximum data rate of the unit. BreezeNET
PRO.11 units operate at 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps or 3 Mbps. The unit adaptively
selects the highest possible rate for transmission. Under certain
conditions (compatibility reasons or for range/speed trade-off) you may
decide to limit the use of higher rates.
• Transmit Diversity – Which antennas are used for transmission. During
reception, a BreezeNET PRO.11 unit dynamically selects the antenna
where reception is optimal. In contrast, before transmission the unit
selects the antenna from which it will transmit. It usually uses the
antenna last used for successful transmission. In models with external
antennas, sometimes only a single antenna is used. In this case, Transmit
Diversity should be configured to transmit only from that single antenna.
Similarly, models using a booster or an LNA use only a single antenna
for transmission.
• Mobility – BreezeNET PRO.11 stations optimize their roaming
algorithms according to the mobility mode parameter. For example, a
stationary station is more tolerant of bad propagation conditions. It
assumes that this is a temporary situation and is not caused by the station
changing position. Initiating a roaming procedure in such a case would
be counter-productive. In general, Wireless stations can be used in one
of three mobility modes:
• Mobile – High Mobility. For stations that may move at speeds of
over 30 km per hour.
• Portable – Medium Mobility. For stations that may move at speeds
of over 10 km per hour, but not over 30 km per hour.
• Stationary – Low Mobility. For stations that will not move at speeds
of over 10 km per hour. Stationary is the default value, and in almost
all cases this is the best choice.
• Load Sharing – Whether load sharing is enabled for the unit. When
installing a Wireless LAN network in a high-traffic environment, you
can increase the aggregate throughput by installing multiple APs to
create co-located cells. When load sharing is enabled, the wireless
