4.1.2.2
Power
1.
This variable allows you to change the transmit power to the 16 output ports. Allowable values are in
the range of -5 to 0.3 dBm.
2.
If you attempt to enter a value outside this range to will see the following error:
‘Valid power is -5 to
0.’
3.
Changing the power causes all voltage values to automatically recalculate.
4.1.2.3
Channel
1.
This is the current 802.11b channel in use by the Wireless Switch. Channels 1, 6 or 11 are allowed in
the Test mode.
2.
If you enter any other value, the following message will be displayed:
‘Valid channels are 1, 6 or
11.’
4.1.2.4
Generate Traffic
1.
The
Generate Traffic
button allows you to automatically transmit data without the necessity of an
associated client device. This is a test mode that is used for testing only. This traffic is generated by
PINGing a specific IP address with a fixed packet size. Both the address and packet size can be
changed, but a technician is required to make this change.
2.
Traffic Generation Status
shows the transmit packet count. In ‘Auto Tracking’ mode (see next item),
the screen will refresh every two seconds. In ‘non-Auto Tracking’ mode, clicking on any one of the
[Update]
buttons will refresh the Traffic Generation Status information.
4.1.2.5
Auto Tracking
1.
The Auto Tracking feature is used to track an associated client across the array’s field of view. In
Auto Tracking mode, DAC voltages, the Angle, and the Vivato icon will change to indicate the
direction of the beam while tracking the associated client.
2.
This option is meaningful only when the switch is in Ad-Hoc mode and is non-functional in test mode
(see item 4).
4.1.2.6
Test Mode
1.
The DP 2310 Wi-Fi switch has a test mode that allows it to transmit without an associated client. In
this mode, the antenna array transmits packets of RF energy as fast as possible in a direction, channel,
and data rate selected by the user. Power levels, frequencies, and modulation are the same as in
normal operation.
2.
Clients are unable to associate with the switch when in test mode, not only because the switch is
removed from the normal Ad-Hoc mode, but also because receiver functionality is disabled.
