7. Performance Hints
This section gives the user some ideas as to how to increase
performance and network satisfaction on a wireless network.
Running Large Executable Files Efficiently
You may notice that certain executable files like Novell's LOGIN
program can take a long time to start up. You can make this
more efficient if you copy the file to your local hard disk. This
way the server is only accessed to read data files, which will
allow for better performance.
Determining Master Stations and Alternate
Master Stations
RangeLAN2 uses a spread spectrum frequency hopping tech-
nique. This means that the radio signal is constantly moving from
one frequency to another in a predefined sequence. In order for
several RangeLAN2 radios to communicate, they must be at the
same frequency at the same time.
Proxim devised a method whereby one unit, called the Master
station, sets the pace for the other radios. All stations look to the
Master station to determine where and when to hop. If there is
no Master station present, a station configured as an Alternate
Master station will decide to become the Master for that session.
