5 - 33
Antenna Mode Set the number of transmit and receive antennas on the access point. 1x1 is used for
transmissions over just the single “A” antenna. 2x2 is used for transmissions and receipts
over two antennas for dual antenna models. 1xAll is used when transmission occurs on
one antenna and is received on all receiving antennas. The default setting is dynamic
based on the access point model deployed and its transmit power settings.
Enable Antenna Diversity Select this option to enable the radio to have antenna diversity for transmit frames at non
802.11n data rates. This setting is disabled by default.
Wireless Client Power Select this option to manually set the radio’s transmission power (in dBm) to connected
clients. The setting is disabled by default.
Dynamic Chain Selection Select this option for the radio to dynamically change the number of transmit chains. This
option is enabled by default.
Data Rates Once the radio band is provided, the drop-down menu populates with rate options
depending on the 2.4 or 5.0 GHz band selected. If the radio band is set to
Sensor or
Detector , the Data Rates drop-down menu is not enabled, as the rates are fixed and not
user configurable. If 2.4 GHz is selected as the radio band, select separate 802.11b,
802.11g and 802.11n rates and define how they are used in combination. If 5.0 GHz is
selected as the radio band, select separate 802.11a and 802.11n rates then define how
they are used together. When using 802.11n (in either the 2.4 or 5.0 GHz band), Set a MCS
(modulation and coding scheme) in respect to the radio’s channel width and guard
interval. A MCS defines (based on RF channel conditions) an optimal combination of 8
data rates, bonded channels, multiple spatial streams, different guard intervals and
modulation types. Clients can associate as long as they support basic MCS (as well as
non-11n basic rates).
Radio Placement Use the drop-down menu to specify whether the radio is located Indoors or Outdoors . The
placement should depend on the country of operation selected and its regulatory domain
requirements for radio emissions. The default setting is Indoors.
Max Clients Use the spinner control to set a maximum permissible number of clients to connect with
this access point radio. The available range is from 1- 256 for AP6522, AP6532, AP6562,
AP8132, AP7131 and AP7161 models and from 1-128 for AP6511 and AP6521 models.
Rate Selection Methods Use the drop-down menu to specify the algorithm to use for rate selection. Select
Standard to use the standard rate selection algorithm. Select Opportunistic to use the
Opportunistic rate selection algorithm.
NOTE: AP6522, AP6532, AP6562, AP8132, AP7131and AP7161 model access points can
support up to 256 client connections to a single access point radio. AP6511 and AP6521
model access points (both single radio models) can support up to 128 client connections
to a single radio.
