SPEEDLAN TM
23
Campus PRC (This is a Satellite Station)
- This is the configuration required for stations that are to be
installed into a wireless network cell that utilizes a base station. Except for the base station, all the stations in this
type of wireless network cell should be configured as Satellite Stations. The satellite configuration tells the
brouter to forward all data that needs to pass through the wireless network to the base station. In addition, the
satellite stations are configured to listen to the base station for instructions if they are forthcoming.
and greatly improves the performance of a base station wireless network cell when the total number of satellite
stations is greater then 5 to 10 stations. As the number of stations increases, the usage of the wireless network
cell increases and efficiency is proportionately improved.
Frequency Button
- The Frequency button can be found in the
lower right hand corner of the individual interfaces setup screens.
Clicking this button will open a new screen that allows you to
change the operating frequency of the interface. All of the brouters
expected to communicate with this device should be configured
with the same frequency.
Advanced 11 Mb RF Interface Setup
Network ID -
The Network ID is a security setting that allows
the SPEEDLAN TM unit to reject packets from other wireless
bridges in the area. Although the bridging or routing table would
reject the packet once it was processed, the Network ID allows
the bridge to reject the packet with much less processing. This
improves the performance of the SPEEDLAN TM units in installations where many wireless bridges are co-
located in the same area or where other organizations may be running wireless bridges of their own. The
default setting is 0 and the valid range is 0 to 15.
Warning: This setting must be set to the same value on
all SPEEDLAN TM units you wish to have communicate
together. Failure to set them to the same value will pre-
vent any communications from taking place. (e.g. for
multipoint to work properly, the base station AND all of
the satellite units must use the same Network ID setting)
Rate –
This setting refers to the RF data rate. The
SPEEDLAN TM 11 Mbps radio has four data rates that can
be used:
High
- This is the full 11 Mbps data rate. The interface default to this value and it is recommended that you
operate using it for most installations. The receiver sensitivity of the radio with this setting is –82 dBm.
Medium
– This setting limits the card to providing 5.5 Mbps of bandwidth. The receiver sensitivity of the radio
with this setting is –85 dBm.
