NOTE
– The FCC allows channels in the UNII-1 (5.15 to 5.25 GHz) and UNII-3
(5.725 to 5.85 GHz) bands for outdoor high-power use (the green channels in the
above diagram). The ES700 operates in those channels for deployments in the US.
Transmit Power
Allows selection of the output power level of the local transmitter. The default
value is
Max
(26dBm). Steps of 1 dB decrement from the max level are available.
Streams
This specified the number of independent streams using a 2x2 MIMO radio. 2 streams
will yield twice data rate as the 1-stream case, but the 1-stream operation provides a more
robust link and may be useful in adverse RF conditions. The default is 2 streams.
Distance (Mile)
For the optimal performance of the link, the link distance should be entered
here, rounded up to the nearest mile (1 mile = 1.6 km). This parameter is used to optimize the
performance across long distance links, accounting for the time of flight for packet transport
over the wireless channel.
Interface Configuration
has two different sections,
General Setup
and
Wireless
Security
.
Mode
In a PTP link, one unit has to be designated as
Master
, the other
Slave
. The Master unit
control the frequency channel and a few other parameters of operation. There is no particular
requirement for a particular side to be the Master unit, but in general, it would be helpful to
designate the unit close to the central point of the network to be the Master unit.
Link ID
This is the ID used by the PTP link. If the ACL function is on (see below), the Link ID
entered in Master and Slave units must match for the link to be established.
NOTE
- The Link ID should be changed from the default settings, and each PTP
link should use a unique Link ID so that only the right pair is associated in the event
that there are multiple links in close proximity.
NOTE
– Link ID can be up to 32 characters long, and consist of all alphanumerics,
plus the following symbols: @ (at sign) - (dash) . (period) ‘ (tick) _ (underscore). RF
Network Name may not include spaces.
