Configuring WaveLAN/EC-S

If you wish to balance speed versus reliability, you can also select
a user-defined preference from the following four options:
■
High fixed
■
Medium fixed
■
Standard fixed
■
Low fixed
You are advised however to do so only in special circumstances,
typically upon advice of a WaveLAN IEEE expert or WaveLAN
Technical Support representative.
■
Use High-Fixed data rate only in networking environments
where:
— You are certain that all wireless devices can communicate
at the highest Transmit Rate, and
— Where performance appears to slow down as a result of
many retransmissions, even though the wireless coverage
provides an “Excellent Radio Connection”.
This situation may occur in exceptional cases where for
example Microwave ovens in the WaveLAN Signal path
interfere with WaveLAN data communication.
■
Use “Low - Fixed” only in networking environments where
range of the wireless connection is more important than speed.
This setting will “instruct” your WaveLAN adapter to conserve
resources by not attempting to (re-)transmit data at higher data
rates.
NOTE:
Your WaveLAN/EC-S device does not yet support the
recently released WaveLAN IEEE Turbo cards. Support
for these cards that support Ethernet equivalent transmit
rates, will require an update of the embedded software of
your WaveLAN/EC-S device. This update will be made
available via the WaveLAN websites in a future release.
