Enable Antenna
Diversity Select this box to enable antenna diversity on supported antennas. Antenna diversity uses two or more
antennas to increase signal quality and strength. This option is disabled by default.
Wireless Client Power Select this option to specify the transmit power on supported wireless clients. If this is enabled set a
client power level between 0 to 20 dBm. This option is disabled by default.
Dynamic Chain
Selection Select this option for the radio to dynamically change the number of transmit chains. This option is
enabled by default.
Data Rates Once the radio band is provided, the Data Rates drop-down menu populates with rate options
depending on the 2.4 or 5 GHz band selected. If the radio band is set to Sensor or Detector, the Data
Rates drop-down menu is not enabled, as the rates are fixed and not user configurable. If 2.4 GHz is
selected as the radio band, select separate 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n rates and define how they
are used in combination. If 5 GHz is selected as the radio band, select separate 802.11a and 802.11n
rates then define how they are used together. When using 802.11n (in either the 2.4 or 5 GHz band),
Set a MCS (modulation and coding scheme) in respect to the radio’s channel width and guard interval.
A MCS defines (based on RF channel conditions) an optimal combination of 8 data rates, bonded
channels, multiple spatial streams, different guard intervals and modulation types. Clients can
associate as long as they support basic MCS (as well as non-11n basic rates).
Radio Placement Use the drop-down menu to specify whether the radio is located Indoors or Outdoors. The placement
should depend on the country of operation and its regulatory domain requirements for radio
emissions.The default setting is Indoors.
Max Clients Use the spinner control to set a maximum permissible number of clients to connect with this radio. The
available range is between 0 - 256 clients. The default value is 256.
Rate Selection Method Specify a radio selection method for the radio. The selection methods are:
Standard: standard monotonic radio selection method will be used.
Opportunistic: sets opportunistic radio link adaptation as the radio selection method. This mode uses
opportunistic data rate selection to provide the best throughput.
