3.5.1. Performance
The Performance menu contains parameters regarding unit performance:
• RTS Threshold – Minimum packet size to require an RTS. For packets
smaller than this threshold, an RTS is not sent and the packet is
transmitted directly to the WLAN.
3.5.2. Radio
The Radio menu contains the following major parameters:
• Hopping Standard – The Hopping Standard is a set of rules regarding
the radio transmission standard allowed in each country. Units will work
together only if set to the same hopping standard. Use this parameter to
set the unit’s hopping standard to that of the relevant country.
• Power level – Output power level at which the unit is transmitting.
There are two possibilities, Low (4dBm) or High (17 dBm) at the
antenna connector.
3.5.3. Rate
The Rate menu contains the following relevant counters:
• Rate Counters – The number of frames transmitted in each data-rate
since the last time the unit was reset. The Reset Counters option will
reset these counters also. In APs, the counters for all associated stations
are displayed, indicated by their MAC address. In stations, only the
stations’ rate counters are displayed with no indication of address. The
rate counters show the rate the packet was transmitted for the first time,
not including retransmissions. The Ret counter shows the number of
frames that had to be retransmitted, and does not count the number of
retransmissions that actually accrued.
Checking rate counters is the best way to determine which data rate is
optimal for the unit. It is recommended to restrict the Maximum Data
Rate (refer to section 3.4.3) for each unit according to these counters.
