The Error Domain is the Domain used by the BSA radio if the Backbone radio loses
synchronization with all the Masters in its list. It will switch to this Domain after the amount of
time specified in the Error Domain Timer parameter has passed without finding an accept-
able Master.
The Master Name parameter specifies an alphanumeric name to simplify the identification of
each Master in your network. This parameter is case sensitive.
Repeating Enabled controls the ability for the Extension Point to repeat signals coming
from one Station and destined for another Station. These two Stations must be out of range
of one another but both in range of and synchronized to the Extension Point for repeating to
occur.
The Delay Radio Reconfigure parameter allows you to delay radio parameter changes
from taking effect. You might want to enable this feature so that you do not lose communica-
tion when a parameter is changed .
The MAC Optimize parameter can help improve throughput for small networks. The
default setting of Auto causes the Extension Point to determine the number of units synchro-
nized to it and adjust this parameter accordingly. Alternately, you may force the parameter to
one of the other settings. If you have 0 or 1 wireless nodes communicating with an Extension
Point, use the Very Light setting. If you have between 2 and 7 wireless nodes communicating
with an Extension Point at the same time, use Light. (You can have more than 7 nodes
synchronized to an Extension Point but between 2 and 7 communicating at the same time for
the Light parameter setting.) In networks with more than 7 concurrent wireless users, use
Normal.
The No Traffic Trap Period specifies the number of seconds after which a No Traffic trap
is sent via SNMP.
The Radio Traffic Trap Threshold specifies a percentage of radio traffic after which a
Radio High Usage trap is sent via SNMP.
The Radio Broadcast Trap Threshold specifies a percentage of radio broadcast traffic
after which a Radio High Usage trap is sent via SNMP.
