Task 6: Configuring radio parameters
Attribute Meaning
Max Range
Enter a number of miles (or kilometers divided by 1.61, then rounded
to an integer) for the furthest distance from which a SM is allowed to
register to this AP. Do not set the distance to any greater number of
miles. A greater distance
• does not increase the power of transmission from the AP.
• can reduce aggregate throughput.
Regardless of this distance, the SM must meet the minimum
requirements for an acceptable link. If the AP is in cluster, then you
must
set this parameter on all other APs in the cluster exactly the
same, except as described in the NOTE admonition below.
The default value of this parameter is 2 miles (3.2 km).
Downlink Data
Specify the percentage of the aggregate throughput for the downlink
(frames transmitted from the AP to the subscriber). For example, if
the aggregate (uplink and downlink total) throughput on the AP is 90
Mb, then 75% specified for this parameter allocates 67.5 Mb for the
downlink and 22.5 Mb for the uplink. The default for this parameter
is 75%. This parameter must be set in the range of 15% - 85%,
otherwise the invalid input will not be accepted and the previously-
entered valid setting is used.
In order to prevent self-interference, the frame configuration
needs to align. This includes Downlink Data, Max Range and
Contention slots.
