Rate Aggressiveness
This allows users to reduce or increase the transmit rate while still remaining in full auto algorithm.
There are two scenarios when rate aggressiveness is useful. First, the environment might be
noisy at times, so one would lower the throughput to ensure better stability, and the rate
aggressiveness allows the device to reduce the transmit rate, so the range or power can be
higher.
Secondly, if one chooses a range of value from -3, -2, -1, then the environment might be free of
interference, but the fully auto algorithm might give low throughput. Therefore, on must increase
the rate aggressiveness to increase the transmit rate in this case to receive a higher throughput.
For this, one would want to choose a range of value from +3, +2, +1.
Station Parameters Settings

These options below are only available in
Station, Station WDS
and
Repeater WDS
modes
unless otherwise stated. Please keep in mind wireless mode is considered station mode.
Remote AP-ESSID
This is the service set identifier used by the station to seek and connect to the access
point of the same SSID identifier.
Site Survey
This will search for the available wireless networks in range on all the supported channels
and will allow the user to select one for association. In case the selected network uses
encryption, the user will need to set security parameters in the wireless security section.
Click
‘Scan’ to re-scan the access points in range. Select the access point from the list and
click
‘Close This Window’. The site survey channel scan list can be modified using the
channel scan control list.
