The Security ID is a string of up to 20 alphanumeric characters.
There are 1,048,576 unique choices for the Security ID. The
default Security ID for all RangeLAN2 products is blank (an
empty string).
You may change the Security ID from within the Windows Site
Survey & Configuration Tool or from within the RL2SETUP
program. Refer to Appendix A for more information on how to
set the Security ID.
MAC Optimize
default=Normal
This parameter can help improve throughput for small networks.
If you have 8 or fewer wireless nodes communicating at the same
time with a RangeLAN2 7420 PC Card configured as a Master,
then set this parameter to Light on the Master unit. (You can have
more than 8 nodes synchronized to a RangeLAN2 Master but
only 8 or fewer communicating at the same time for the Light
parameter setting.) In networks with more than 8 concurrent
wireless users, set the parameter to Normal.
You need only set the MAC Optimize parameter on a Master or
Alternate Master. Stations will ignore this parameter if it is set.
The MAC_Optimize settings for the DOS drivers are as follows:
❑
Light
= 0
❑
Normal
= 1
Roam Config
default=Normal
The Roam Config parameter allows you to determine how toler-
ate a Station is to radio phenomena that can cause the unit to roam
from one RangeLAN2 Access Point or Extension Point to an-
other in order to maintain a strong wireless connection.
