Distance: specify the distance value in miles using slider or enter the value manually.
The signal strength and throughput falls off with range. Changing the distance value will
change the ACK Timeout to the appropriate value of the distance.
ACK Timeout: specify the ACK Timeout (20-520). This is the amount of time the
subscriber station will wait to hear a acknowledgement response from the wireless
device after the data packet is transmitted. If the timeout is set too short or too long, it
will result poor connection and throughput performance. Changing the ACK Timeout
value will change the Distance to the appropriate distance value for the ACK Timeout.
Auto Adjust control will enable the ACK Timeout Self-Configuration feature. If enabled,
ACK Timeout value will be derived dynamically using an algorithm similar to the
Conservative Rate Algorithm described above.

Features: select the checkboxes to enable the chosen SuperG®
(PowerStation2 and LiteStation2) or SuperAG® (LiteStation5) features:
Fast Frame – utilizes frame aggregation and timing modifications.
Bursting – more data frames per given time period are transmitted.
Compression – real-time hardware data compression is enabled.
RSSI LED Thresholds
RSSI LED Thresholds specify the marginal value of RSSI which will switch on LEDs
indicating signal strength:
Figure 17 – RSSI LED Thresholds Configuration
LED 1 (Red) will switch on if the RSSI reach the value set in an entry field next to it.
LED 2 (Yellow) will switch on if the RSSI reach the value set in an entry field next to it.
LED 3 (Green) will switch on if the RSSI reach the value set in an entry field next to it.
LED 4 (Green) will switch on if the RSSI reach the value set in an entry field next to it.
Antenna
PowerStation2 has a possibility to switch the antenna polarities with a single web
management control. This is achieved by using Ubiquiti's patent-pending Adaptive
Antenna Polarity (AAP) technology.
