PMP 450i and PTP 450i Configuration and User
Task 6: Configuring radio parameters
Attribute
Meaning
Continue... The worst case scanning time is approximately two minutes after
boot up (SM with all frequencies and channel bandwidths selected
and registering to an AP at 10 MHz). If only one channel
bandwidth is selected the time to scan all the available
frequencies and register to an AP is approximately one minute
after boot up.
Other scanning features such as Color Code, Installation Color
Code, and RADIUS authentication are unaffected by the Full Band
Scan feature.
Channel Bandwidth
Scan
The channel size used by the radio for RF transmission.
Selecting multiple channel bandwidths will increase
registration and re-registration times.
Cyclic Prefix Scan
The cyclic prefix for which AP scanning is executed.
AP Selection
Method
Operators may configure the method by which a scanning SM
selects an AP. By default, AP Selection Method is set to “Optimize
for Throughput”, which has been the mode of operation in
releases prior to 12.0.3.1.
Power Level: AP selection based solely on power level
or
Optimize for Throughput: AP selection based on throughput
optimization – the selection decision is based on power level
(which affects the modulation state), channel bandwidth (which
affects throughput) and number of SM registrations to the AP
(which affects system contention performance).
