73
36
,
28
, or
54
Mbps for 11b+11g or 11g-only modes. If necessary, the
Max Operational Rate
choices
adjust automatically to be higher or equal to the
Min Basic Rate
.
●
No of Retries for Background BK
– Select the number of retries for the Background transmission
queue. The default value is
4
. The recommended setting is
adaptive (multi-rate)
.
●
No of Retries for Best Effort BE
– Select the number of retries for the Best Effort transmission
queue. The default value is
4
. The recommended setting is
adaptive (multi-rate)
.
●
No of Retries for Video VI
– Select the number of retries for the Video transmission queue. The
default value is
4
. The recommended setting is
adaptive (multi-rate)
.
●
No of Retries for Voice VO
– Select the number of retries for the Voice transmission queue. The
default value is
1
. The recommended setting is
adaptive (multi-rate)
.
●
No of Retries for Turbo Voice TVO
– Select the number of retries for the Turbo Voice
transmission queue. The default value is
1
. The recommended setting is
adaptive (multi-rate)
.
●
Preamble
– Select a preamble type for 11b-specific (CCK) rates:
Short
,
Long
, or
Auto
. The
recommended value is
Auto
. Select
Short
if you are sure that there is no pre-11b AP or a client in
the vicinity of this AP. Select
Long
if compatibility with pre-11b clients is required.
●
Protection Mode
– Select a protection mode:
None
,
Auto
, or
Always
. The default and
recommended setting is
Auto
. Select
None
if 11b APs and clients are not expected. Select
Always
if you expect many 11b-only clients.
●
Protection Rate
– Select a protection rate:
1
,
2
,
5.5
, or
11
Mbps. The default and recommended
setting is
11
. Only reduce the rate if there are many 11b clients in the environment or if the
deployment has areas with poor coverage. For example, rates lower than
11
Mbps are required to
ensure coverage.
●
Protection Type
– Select a protection type:
CTS
Only
or
RTS CTS
. The default and
recommended setting is
CTS Only
. Select
RTS CTS
only if an 11b AP that operates on the same
channel is detected in the neighborhood, or if there are many 11b-only clients in the environment.
NOTE
The overall throughput is reduced when
Protection Mode
is enabled, due to the additional overhead caused by the
RTS/CTS. The overhead is minimized by setting
Protection Type
to
CTS Only
and
Protection Rate
to
11 Mbps
.
Although, the overhead causes the overall throughput to be sometimes lower than if just 11b mode is used. If
there are many 11b clients, it is recommended to disable 11g support (11g clients are backward compatible
with 11b APs).
An alternate approach, although a more expensive method, is to dedicate all APs on a channel for 11b (for
example, disable 11g on these APs) and disable 11b on all other APs. The difficulty with this method is that the
number of APs must be increased to ensure coverage separately for 11b and 11g clients.
