Active Channel: The channel currently being used by the radio.

RFRX Threshold: Sets the receive threshold of the radio. The radio will not process signals received below this
level, so it is very useful for interference mitigation. For a smaller radius of operation use a higher threshold (-65 is
higher than -70).

Broadcast Packet: This software switch (0) enables/disables the blocking of Ethernet control packets, except
ICMP and ARP, to reduce the amount of unnecessary overhead introduced into the wireless link.

SU to SU Communication: If enabled (switch 3), SUs with matching SU to SU groups (except group 0) can
communicate in peer-to-peer mode through the AP without the need of a router behind the AP. SUs using SU to
SU communication must be on the same subnet.

TCP/IP Service for SU: If enabled, the AP can be accessed via TCP/IP (Telnet or HTTP) from the SU side of the
network via the wireless link.

Remarks: User definable radio information (i.e. customer name, address of installation, etc). A maximum of 28
characters can be stored.

Site Survey Page

The Site Survey page provides a useful tool for detecting and measuring interference. The radio must be in
Opmode “OFF” in order to use this feature.

Enter the number of minutes desired for the survey, and select the polarization H, V, or E (for an external antenna).
Click "Start Survey." A survey of the default 8 channels will be performed. Results are reported in dBm per
channel as average and peak. A channel is reported to be "Clear" if the peak and average are below the RF RX
Threshold by more than 8 dB.
