Wi-Fi Array
Configuring the Wi-Fi Array 267
Optimize Throughput button to optimize data rates based on
throughput. The Restore Defaults button will take you back to the
factory default rate settings.
3. 802.11a IAP Status: Click Enable 802.11a IAPs to enable all 802.11a IAPs
for this Array, or click Disable 802.11a IAPs to disable all 802.11a IAPs.
4. Channel Configuration: Click Auto Configure to instruct the Array to
determine the best channel allocation settings for each 802.11a IAP and
select the channel automatically, based on changes in the environment.
This is the recommended method for 802.11a channel allocations. Use the
Factory Defaults button to take you back to the factory default channel
settings.
5. Cell Size Configuration: Click Auto Configure to instruct the Array to
determine and set the best cell size for each enabled 802.11a IAP, based on
changes in the environment. This is the recommended method for setting
cell size. On the IAP Settings window, each enabled 802.11a IAP will have
its cell size set to auto.
6. Set Cell Size: The Cell Size may be set globally for all 802.11a IAPs to
auto, large, medium, small, or max using the drop down menu.
7. Fragmentation Threshold: This is the maximum size for directed data
packets transmitted over the 802.11a radio. Larger frames fragment into
several packets, their maximum size defined by the value you enter here.
Smaller fragmentation numbers can help to “squeeze” packets through in
noisy environments. Enter the desired Fragmentation Threshold value in
this field, between 256 and 2346.
8. RTS Threshold: The RTS (Request To Send) Threshold specifies the
packet size. Packets larger than the RTS threshold will use CTS/RTS prior
to transmitting the packet—useful for larger packets to help ensure the
success of their transmission. Enter a value between 1 and 2347.
9. Click on the Apply button to apply the new settings to this session, or
click Save to apply your changes and make them permanent.
