Description
The page contains the following boxes:
●
"Enable iPCF-MC" check box
Enable or disable the iPCF-MC mode of the device.
For PNIO communication, we recommend enabling the iPCF-MC mode. By enabling
iPCF-MC, the data rates provided by the access point are adapted.
We strongly recommend that you retain the default setting for the data rates (802.11 a/b/g
= 6, 9 and 12 Mbps and 802.11n = MCS 2).
●
"iPCF Cycle Time" drop-down list (only in access point mode)
Select the PNIO update time configured for the network to which the access point is
connected. The lowest value for the update time is 32 ms.
●
"Management Scan Period" drop-down list (only in client mode)
This parameter specifies the time between two client management channel scans
(specified in iPCF cycles). If, for example, you select two, the client runs a management
channel scan only in every second iPCF cycle.
A lower value for the scan interval provides the basis for fast roaming, however this
means that no high data throughput can be achieved. A higher value should be selected
for a high data throughput.
