BreezeACCESS 4.0 Operations and Administration
Manual Revision: 1.01
Valid values: MAC address string
The default value for the Preferred AU MAC Address is
00-00-00-00-00-00 (12 zeros), meaning that there is no
preferred AU.
" Show Best AU Parameters and Data – Displays the
applicable information:
# Neighboring AU Data table - Displayed for each AU that
the unit can communicate with the following parameters:
• MAC Address
• Received signal strength – RSSI or dBm
• Mark – The computed quality mark for the AU.
• Full – The association load status of the AU. It is defined
as full if the number of SUs associated with the AU has
reached the maximum allowed according to the value of
the Maximum Number of Associations parameter (see
page 2-38). An AU whose associations load status is full
cannot be selected as the Best AU, even if its’ computed
mark is the highest.
• ESSID – The ESSID of the AU
In addition to the neighboring AU data table, the following
information is displayed:
• Best AU Support
• Preferred AU MAC Address
• Number of Scanning Attempts
• Associated AU MAC Address (the MAC address of the
selected AU)
• Run Time ESSID (the ESSID of the selected AU)
Power Control Parameters
! Transmit Power Control – Controls the relative gain of the Tx
power circuits.
A value of 7 represents the highest transmit power level, which is
the maximum level supported by the specific unit. A lower value
represents a lower transmit power level. The effect of this parameter
on the transmitted power is not linear, since it is affected by the
length (attenuation) of the IF cable.
The allowed range is from 0 to 7.
The default value is 7 (maximum power).
Other Air Interface Parameters
! Maximum Data Rate – Displays the current maximum data rate,
and allows entry of a new value for the maximum data rate.
NOTE:
It is recommended not to change the Transmit Power Control parameter from its
default value in units with HW revision G or earlier.
