Note:
Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20
characters or more for maximum security.
Encryption
Set the type to the minimum required security level. The “+”
sign indicates that the group (broadcast) encryption method
is different from the pairwise (unicast) encryption. For
example, for CCMP+TKIP, CCMP is the pairwise encryption
and TKIP is the group encryption.
Fixed or Automatic Data Rate
WiSpan enables you to control of the transmission rate. Select
0
to set a fixed data rate
or select
1
to set an automatic data rate. The default is
1
(auto fallback).
TX Data rate: 0=fixed, 1=auto fallback <1> ?
Transmission Data Rate
If the
TX Data rate
(above) is
fixed
, the selected data rate is the WiSpan’s fixed
transmission rate. If the
TX Data rate
is
auto fallback
, the selected data rate is the
WiSpan’s maximum data rate. Lower data rates allow for larger distances. They may also
be required when communicating with older devices. The default is
11
Mbps.
TX Data rate 0=1, 1=2, 2=5.5, 3=11
4=18, 5=24, 6=36, 7=54 Mbps (0) ? _
Enable Power Management
Select
Y
(Yes) to enable the software to turn off the radio when expecting not to receive
or transmit soon. This feature reduces the power consumption by up to 170 mA. Enabling
power management increases the response time, because the radio needs to start up
again. The radio synchronizes and checks for incoming messages (every 100 ms).
Note:
This option is not available when the topology is
AdHoc.
Enable power management (N) ?
