Network Range
Should be set to the average link distance, rounded up to the nearest mile or km.
This parameter is used to optimize the performance of the PPM Polling MAC protocol across long
distance links.
Note that the maximum link distance at 20 and 40 MHz bandwidths is 10 miles (16 km).
RF Network Name
The wireless network name assigned to this Multipoint network only. The RF
Network Name MUST be configured identically at BOTH base station and client units.
Notes:
•
The RF Network Name should be changed from the default settings, and each Multipoint link
should use a unique RF Network Name.
•
RF Network Name 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.
Transmit Power
This parameter sets the RF output power of the radio. Increasing this value will
extend the range of the MULTIPOINT system. However, the maximum available power is limited by
the chosen RF modulation and the regulatory entities in each country.
For example, in the US, the maximum operating power is limited as follows:
Modulation
Max. Output Power
QAM64
17 dBm
QAM16
20 dBm
QPSK, BPSK
23 dBm
