periodic-calibration ( default | disabled | enabled ; default: default ) - to ensure performance of
chipset over temperature and environmental changes, the software performs periodic calibration
periodic-calibration-interval ( integer ; default: 60 ) - interfal between periodic recalibrations, in
seconds
preamble-mode ( both | long | short ; default: both ) - sets the synchronization field in a wireless
packet
• long - has a long synchronization field in a wireless packet (128 bits). Is compatible with
802.11 standard
• short - has a short synchronization field in a wireless packet (56 bits). Is not compatible with
802.11 standard. With short preamble mode it is possible to get slightly higher data rates
• both - supports both - short and long preamble
prism-cardtype ( 30mW | 100mW | 200mW ) - specify the output of the Prism chipset based card
proprietary-extensions ( pre-2.9.25 | post-2.9.25 ; default: post-2.9.25 ) - the method to insert
additional information (MikroTik proprietary extensions) into the wireless frames. This option is
needed to workaround incompatibility between the old (pre-2.9.25) method and new Intel Centrino
PCI-Express cards
• pre-2.9.25 - include extensions in the form accepted by older RouterOS versions. This will
include the new format as well, so this mode is compatiblewith all RouterOS versions. This
mode is incompatible with wireless clients built on the new Centrino wireless chipset and may
as well be incompatible with some other stations
• post-2.9.25 - include extensions in the form accepted by MikroTik RouterOS starting from
veriosn 2.9.25, and compatible with all known wireless clients
radio-name ( name ) - descriptive name of the card. Only for MikroTik devices
rate-set ( default | configured ) - which rate set to use:
• default - basic and supported-rates settings are not used, instead default values are used.
• configured - basic and supported-rates settings are used as configured
scan-list ( multiple choice: integer | default ; default: default ) - the list of channels to scan
• default - represents all frequencies, allowed by the regulatory domain (in the respective
country). If no country is set, these frequencies are used - for 2.4GHz mode: 2412, 2417, 2422,
2427, 2432, 2437, 2442, 2447, 2452, 2457, 2462; for 2.4GHz-g-turbo mode: 2437; for 5GHz
mode: 5180, 5200, 5220, 5240, 5260, 5280, 5300, 5320, 5745, 5765, 5785, 5805, 5825; for
5GHz-turbo: 5210, 5250, 5290, 5760, 5800
security-profile ( text ; default: default ) - which security profile to use. Define security profiles
under /interface wireless security-profiles where you can setup WPA or WEP wireless security, for
further details, see the Security Profiles section of this manual
ssid ( text ; default: MikroTik ) - Service Set Identifier. Used to separate wireless networks
supported-rates-a/g ( multiple choice: 6Mbps, 9Mbps, 12Mbps, 18Mbps, 24Mbps, 36Mbps,
48Mbps, 54Mbps ) - rates to be supported in 802.11a or 802.11g standard
supported-rates-b ( multiple choice: 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 11Mbps ) - rates to be supported in
802.11b standard
tx-power ( integer : -30 ..30 ; default: 17 ) - manually sets the transmit power of the card (in dBm),
if tx-power-mode is set to manual, card rates or all-rates-fixed (see tx-power-mode description
below)
