• Max Tx Power – Click the maximum Tx power level that the range of
transmit power can be adjusted: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and
18 dBm. It is recommended to use 18 dBm to not limit the potential Tx
power level range that can be used.
• Min Tx Power – If ATPC is enabled, click the minimum Tx power level
that the range of transmit power can be adjusted: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,
15, 16, 17, and 18 dBm. It is recommended to click 8 dBm to not limit the
potential Tx power level range that can be used.
• Auto Tx Power Ctrl Adjust – If ATPC is enabled, click the Tx power level
that can be used to adjust the ATPC power levels that the system has
assigned. It is recommended to click 0 dBm during your inital
configuration. If you have an RF plan that recommended Tx power levels
for each Wireless AP, compare the actual Tx power levels your system
has assigned against the recommended values your RF plan has
provided. Use the Auto Tx Power Ctrl Adjust value to achieve the
recommended values.
•Rx Diversity – Click Best for the best signal from both antennas, or Left
or Right to choose either of the two diversity antennas. The default and
recommended selection is Best. If only one antennae is connected, use
the corresponding Left or Right diversity setting. Do not use Best if two
identical antennas are not used.
• Tx Diversity – Click Best for the best signal from both antennas, or Left
or
Right to choose either of the two diversity antennas. The default
selection is Best that maximizes performance for most clients. However,
some clients may behave oddly with Tx Diversity set to Best. Under those
circumstances, it is recommended to use either Left or Right for Tx
Diversity. If only one antennae is connected, use the corresponding Left
or Right diversity setting. Do not use Best if two identical antennas are
not used.
• Min Basic Rate – Click the minimum data rate that must be supported by
all stations in a BSS: 1, 2, 5.5, or 11 Mbps for 11b and 11b+11g modes.
Click 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 11, 12, or 24 Mbps for 11g-only mode. If necessary, the
Max Basic Rate choices adjust automatically to be higher or equal to the
Min Basic Rate. If both Min Basic Rate and Max Basic Rate are set to
an 11g-specific (OFDM) rate, (for example, 6, 12, or 24 Mbps) all basic
rates will be 11g-specific.
