Noise Floor Calculation
Mode
The Calculation Mode defines the method used for calculation the
Noise Floor value to be used by the device for estimating the quality
of received signals. The available options are:
 Fully Automatic: According to the built-in noise floor calculation
mechanism.
 Forced: The Noise Floor value is set manually to the value
configured for the Forced Value parameter (see below). Typically
this mode should be used only for special testing purposes.
 Automatic with Minimum Value: If the calculated Noise Floor using
the built-in mechanism is higher than the value configured for the
Forced Value parameter, the calculated value will be used.
Otherwise, the Forced Value will be used.
Noise Floor Forced Value The Forced Value parameter enables configuring the Noise Floor to
be used if the selected Calculation Mode is Forced. This is also the
minimum value to be used if the selected Calculation Mode is
Automatic with Minimum Value.
If you decided to change the calculation mode to Automatic with
Minimum Value and you still experience problems in the link (long
association time, exceptionally low throughput), try to improve it by
increasing the configured Forced Value.
The available range is from -107 to -55 (dBm)
