The MAC Optimize parameter can help improve throughput for small networks. The
default setting of Auto causes the RangeLAN2 Access Point to determine the number of
units synchronized to it and adjust this parameter accordingly. If you have 0 or 1 wire-
less node communicating with a RangeLAN2 Access Point, set this parameter to Very
Light. If you have between 2 and 7 wireless nodes communicating with a RangeLAN2
Access Point at the same time, set this parameter to Light. (You can have more than 7
nodes synchronized to a RangeLAN2 Access Point but between 2 and 7 communicating
at the same time for the Light parameter setting.) In networks with more than 7 concur-
rent wireless users, set the parameter to Normal.
To further improve the security of a wireless subnetwork, each unit requires the same
Security ID to establish communication. The Security ID is used on all RangeLAN2
products and all Station Types. This ID is encrypted and stored in the RangeLAN2
Access Point itself, not in software. It cannot be accessed but you may change it. If you
do change it, however, you will need to change the Security ID on all other radios with
which this one was communicating. The Security ID parameter can be up to 20 charac-
ters and is an empty string by default. It is case sensitive.
The No Traffic Trap Period specifies the number of seconds after which a No Traffic
trap is sent via SNMP. This parameter is only available on the RangeLAN2 752x
Access Point.
The Radio Traffic Trap Threshold specifies a percentage of radio traffic after which a
Radio High Usage trap is sent via SNMP. This parameter is only available on the
RangeLAN2 752x Access Point.
The Radio Broadcast Trap Threshold specifies a percentage of radio broadcast traffic
after which a Radio High Usage trap is sent via SNMP. This parameter is only available
on the RangeLAN2 752x Access Point.
Reset Radio allows you to reset the radio contained in the RangeLAN2 Access Point
without resetting the entire unit. This will cause any changes to the radio parameters
which haven't yet taken effect (because the Delay Radio Reconfigure parameter is set)
to take effect.
