Configuring Wireless Settings

Reviewing the Advanced::Common Options

This workspace permits access to advanced wireless functions. These settings should only be changed by

an experienced administrator. Incorrect settings can severely impact wireless performance. It is

recommended that the default settings be retained for best performance.

1.

In the Configure :: Wireless :: Common workspace, click

Edit Common Settings

.

Figure 36—

Configure :: Wireless :: Advanced :: Common page

2.

Make the following entries, as needed:

•

Data Rate

: The default value is

Best

. Select the preferred rate of data transmission from the

drop-down menu. Selecting Best allows the Metro Broadband Gateway to adapt data

transmission to the best rate available. The effectiveness of rates listed in the Data Rate

drop-down menu is dependent on the Wireless Mode previously specified.

WARNING:

—In order to fully benefit from the Metro Broadband Gateway capabilities, it is advisable not to

change this value unless absolutely necessary.

•

Transmit Power

: The default is

Full

. Select the level of transmit power from the drop-down

menu. This option sets the maximum transmit power level relative to the pre-defined power (this

value differs according to the current country code).

•

Protection Mode

:

Inactive

by default. If you activate protection, you control how 802.11 devices

know when they should communicate to another device. This is important in a mixed

environment of both 802.11b and 802.11g clients. WARNING: Activating this option (and

configuring the settings) boosts the interoperability of 802.11b and 802.11g devices

but will

severely decrease performance

.

•

CTS-only

: Choose this option to force all destination devices to acknowledge their ability to

receive data when a transmission is initiated.

•

RTS/CTS

: Choose this option to force both sending and receiving devices to confirm a data

exchange on both ends before proceeding.

For information on “Protection Mode”-specific Threshold options and how they can be customized, see

the following section,

"Setting Threshold Options" on page 45

.

3.

Click

Update Settings

to save and apply the changes.
