System information

The Custom Scan list can be edited. A # sign will act as a remark. You may enter one frequency per
line to only scan certain frequencies or put two hyphen separated frequencies as shown in the Custom
Scan List to scan a range, one range per line.
Transmit Rate (mbps)
The transmit rate refers to the connection speed you want the radios to connect at. The default is auto,
and the cards will autobaud to the best speed depending on conditions (noise, SNR, etc.). You can
preset a speed to lock systems in. This will prevent distant (weak) stations from slowing down traffic
and help keep things flowing. You must put a valid speed for your selected operating mode. Modes
and speeds are listed for your convenience:
802.11b 802.11a/g 802.11a/g turbo
1 6 12
2 9 18
5.5 12 24
11 18 36
24 48
36 72
48 96

Link distance (0..35 miles)
The link distance in miles is extrapolated to a delay for acknowledgment packets. Putting too low a
value here will result in a radio connect, but no IP traffic will flow. Putting the smallest possible
number here will purportedly make your link faster. While this is true for extreme values, it will mostly
help you make or break a connection with distant stations. Set this to a value slightly higher than
farthest expected client station. The default (def) is a fairly small distance, approx 300 feet, generally
too small for outdoor networks.
Country code
The default country code (n/a) will provide you a representative list of channels/frequencies. If you are
in a country that is programmed into the radio card, select that country (see Appendix A). If you
change the country code, you'll need to go to the File menu and select Activate then return to this menu.
The available channels/frequencies will be listed in a box in the right third of the wireless menu. Select
your channel/frequency from this list for your chosen operating mode.
Tx Power Override (0..30 dbm)
This feature allows you to select the precise amount of power you want to send out the card's antenna
