In most deployments,
1/8 Cyclic Prefix
will provide a high quality, higher throughput
link. In cases with severe multi-pathing or obstructions,
1/4 Cyclic Prefix
may give
better overall results.
Procedure for setting the Cyclic Prefix
3. Set the
Cyclic
Prefix
on the Configuration => Radio page of both the BHM and the
BHS to
1/8
before deployment.
Important!
The
Cyclic
Prefix
must be set the same on both the BHM and the BHS. If they
don’t match, the BHS will not register to the BHM.
4. During installation use Link Tests to confirm link quality per standard installation and
alignment procedures.
5. If a Link Test shows low throughput or efficiency, consider changing the Cyclic Prefix
to
1/4
on
both
the BHM and the BHS along with other standard installation
troubleshooting procedures such as re-aiming, off-axis aiming, changing location,
raising or lowering the height of the radio, adjusting
Transmission Power
up or
down, or identifying and mitigating sources of interference.
