RF BASIC RATE 

 
The RF Basic Rate is the synchronization rate used to establish the initial connection between 802.11g and 802.11b communication 
devices in Mbps.  After the initial connection has been establish the RF communication rate will be determined by the RF 
Communication Data Rate established above.  Factory default is 1 through 11 Mbps shown in Figure 2 so that the unity will 
establish communication with the older (slower) 802.11b devices.  This lower rate also allows for a quicker reconnect when the 
ESTeems are configured for EtherStation mode or working in a mobile environment. 
 
The ESTeem 195Ed is set at the factory to operate at all speeds from 1-11 Mbps and should not need adjustment.  The RF Basic 
Rate is programmed in the Model 195Ed through the Advanced Menu>Wireless LAN Settings>Wlan0 Device and the value for 
wlan0_AP_BASICRATES:.  In the example shown in Figure 2 the RF Date Rate is programmed to dynamic scale from 1 to 11 
Mbps (recommend factory default setting).  To set the values for the data rate, check the box next to the data rate required. 
 

Note: The Model 195Ed will only communicate with slower speed devices after synchronization if the RF Communication Data 
shown above has been set to dynamically scale to 1 and 2 Mbps. 
 
In general, do not set the RF Basic Rates above 11Mbps unless specifically instructed by ESTeem Customer Support.
