wired interface. This can significantly improve
the throughput in networks with a high volume
of multicast traffic that does not need to be sent
to clients sharing this access point (e.g.
Profinet/Minegem), but it will prevent
Minephones from making Push–To–Talk calls to
other Minephones currently on the same access
point..
1 Mbit/s - Only raise this if there
are issues with multicast traffic
throughput.
The rate at which multicast traffic is transmitted, in
Mbits/s (turbo rate). Higher data rates will increase
transmission speed but decrease the range at which
the transmissions can be received. Multicast Tx

configuration options.
• WEP : is the original wireless encryption
standard. This is rarely used.
• WPA Personal : provides a higher level of
security and does not use a centralised
authentication server.
•
WPA Enterprise
: as per WPA Personal but a
RADIUS authentication server is used.
Note: After a unit is reset to factory defaults, it will have a single wireless network on channel 6
with the name "AP------" (the last six digits of the unit's MAC address), WPA2-AES security enabled
and the password "minesite".
