TX Diversity
BG radio:
On
A radio:
Main Only
How to handle antenna diversity when transmitting packets to the Access Point.
Options are: Main only (use the main antenna only), Aux only (use the auxiliary antenna only),
or On (use diversity or both antennas).
The options for the TX Diversity parameter should be set, based on the antenna configuration, as follows:
Antenna Configuration
TX Diversity
A Main and BG Main
Main Only
A Main and A Aux
On
BG Main and BG Aux
On
Please contact your LXE representative if you have questions about the antenna(s) installed on your MX8WM.
Parameter
Default
Function
Roam
Trigger
-65 dBm
If signal strength is less than this trigger value, the client looks for a different Access Point with a
stronger signal.
Options are: -50 dBm, -55, -60, -65, -70, -75, -80, -85, -90 dBm or
.
Roam
Delta
BG radio:
10 dBm
A radio:
5 dBm
The amount by which a different Access Point signal strength must exceed the current Access
Point signal strength before roaming to the different Access Point is attempted.
Options are: 5 dBm, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 dBm or
.
Roam
Period
BG radio:
10 sec
A radio:
5 sec
The amount of time, after association or a roam scan with no roam, that the radio collects Received
Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) scan data before a roaming decision is made.
Options are: 5 sec, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 seconds or
.
BG Chan-
nel Set
Full
Defines the 2.4GHz channels to be scanned for an AP when the radio is contemplating roaming. By
specifying the channels to search, roaming time may be reduced over scanning all channels.
Options are:
Full (all channels)
1,6,11 (the most commonly used channels)
1,7,13 (for ETSI and TELEC radios only)
.
DFS
Channels
Off
Support for 5GHZ 802.11a channels where support for DFS is required.
Options are: On, Off.
Note: Not supported in this release.
Frag
Thresh
2346
If the packet size (in bytes) exceeds the specified number of bytes set in the fragment threshold, the
packet is fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block). Use a low setting in areas
where communication is poor or where there is a great deal of wireless interference.
Options are: Any number between 256 bytes and 2346 bytes.
RTS
Thresh
2347
If the packet size exceeds the specified number of bytes set in the Request to Send (RTS)
threshold, an RTS is sent before sending the packet. A low RTS threshold setting can be useful in
areas where many client devices are associating with the Access Point.
