Chapter 4: Configuring Wireless Access
5. In the Mode field, select the 802.11 Modulation Scheme to transmit packets from this
radio.
6. Complete these radio settings using the fields provided:
7. Select the frequency Channel the radio is set to broadcast and receive data on.
Select Auto to let the system determine the best channel within the
frequency band to use based on the environmental noise levels for the
available channels.
8. Select the Channel Width (spacing) setting for the radio.
The Channel Width is specific to 802.11n traffic.
9. In the Tx Antennas field, select the number of transmit antennas to use.
Note: If the WavePoint 10e in use does not support MIMO, set this field to 1 to
indicate a single transmit antenna.
10. In the Rx Antennas field, select the number of transmit antennas to use.
Note: If the WavePoint 10e in use does not support MIMO, set this field to 1 to
indicate a single transmit antenna.
11. In the Rate field, select the rate that governs the transmission speed the radio uses after a
wireless link is negotiated.
Note: The mode or modulation scheme and the number of transmit antennas in
use determine the available settings.
Setting the rate to Auto allows the WavePoint 10e to determine the optimal
rate to use based on environment conditions.
Notes
With WavePoint 10e:
l 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz, when running 802.11n, can use a maximum of three antennas.
l 900 MHz can use only one antenna with a second antenna configured for Diversity.
l If the Tx Antenna field is set to 1 or only a single antenna is detected, the 802.11n
MCS index values in the drop-down menu range from 0 to 7.
l If the Tx Antenna field is set to 2, the 802.11n MCS index values in the drop-down
menu range from 0 to 15.
