IMPORTANT
The RACER Radio Configuration interface and command-line
interface (CLI) contain device configuration parameters that
are not available in the on-board Configurator interface.
Note that some configuration features may not be applicable to
your specific Fluidmesh device.
Configuration parameters and control tabs that are exclusive to
RACER and the CLI include:
• Project name (The device has been assigned to the
Project listed in this field.)
• Position (Shows the current physical location of the
unit.)
• Invoice No. (Shows the Fluidmesh sales invoice
number for the unit.)
• Shared With (If responsibility for the unit is shared with
other users, the details of the responsible users are
shown in this field.)
• Enable RTS Protection (3500 ENDO and 4500-series
transceivers only - shows the unit’s current IEEE
802.11 request-to-send (RTS) setting.)
• Promisc (Shows the unit’s current setting for
backwardscompatibility with Fluidmesh units that are no
longer in production.)
• Noise floor Calibration (Shows the unit’s current noise
floorcalibration setting.)
• MAX Transmission MCS (Used to choose the
modulation and coding scheme by which the unit
automatically chooses its maximum data transmission
rate.)
• TX Power (Controls the effective isotropic radiated
power output of the unit.)
• Automatic link distance (Lets the system choose the
maximum effective distance between the relevant
wireless links.)
• Ethernet speed (Selects the correct data exchange
speed for each Ethernet port.)
• FLUIDMESH WI-FI tab (Allows you to set up a second,
segregated Wi-Fi interface that allows technicians
access to the unit for configuration and maintenance
purposes.)
• SPANNING TREE tab (Allows you to build a logical
topology for Ethernet networks, including backup links
to provide fault tolerance if an active link fails.)
• QOS tab (Contains controls for Quality of Service and
Class of Service settings.)
• MPLS tab (Contains controls for adjustment of the unit's
multiprotocol label switching settings.)
