BreezeNET DS.5800 System Manual
Manual Revision: 1.0
Does the BU-DS.5800/RB-DS.5800D support 802.1d spanning tree
protocol?
No, the BU-DS.5800/RB-DS.5800 does not support spanning tree.
What is the normal PER (Packet Error Rate) for the BU-DS.5800/
RB-DS.5800?
The error rate will be about 4%-6% (transmitted fragments vs. retry
count). This is typical when operating in a non-interference
environment at maximum range for bi-directional traffic loads. If the
traffic load is more uni-directional, then the PER will be less.
What is the best value for the CW min parameter on the DS.5800?
Setting the CW min parameter to 31 for heavy bi-directional traffic loads
will minimize the PER. Setting the CW min to 15 will improve
performance for more uni-directional traffic loads. CW min 7 should
only be used for short-range point-to-point links, and 63 should be used
for large, long-range multi-point links.
