Min TX Data Rate Selects the minimum data rate the device will use when auto-
fallback is enabled. The default is 1 Mbps.
Note: If Auto Rate Fallback is enabled and a minimum TX
data rate other than 1Mbps is configured, the radio will
operate in Single Rate Drop mode. This means that if a rate
drop becomes necessary, the radio will drop from the
maximum rate to the lowest rate, ignoring all rates in between.
This reduces the potential number of packet retransmission
attempts, because the radio attempts to transmit a packet
three times before transitioning to the next lowest TX rate.
Max TX Failures Determines the maximum number of consecutive transmit
packet failures before the device will drop its association with
the AP and attempt to establish a new one. The range of
attempts is 6 to 64 with 255 equaling disabled. The default is 6
failed attempts.
Radio Power
Management Power management reduces the overall power consumption
of the MatchPort unit. Selecting Enable increases the
response time. Power management is not permitted in Ad-Hoc
mode.
AP Roaming SmartRoam technology takes a proactive approach in transfer
ring connectivity from one AP to another AP belonging to the
same ESS (having the same SSID or Network Name).
If enabled, SmartRoam manages the dynamic list of APs
belonging to the same network as the AP to which the
MatchPort b/g is currently associated and stores relevant
selection criteria for this list. The MatchPort b/g uses these
criteria to identify a candidate AP. If the candidate AP is not
the current one, the MatchPort b/g dissociates from the
current one and associates to the candidate.
The roaming technology also triggers candidate selection if
the MatchPort b/g reaches the boundaries of good signal
coverage for the current AP instead of waiting until signal
quality degrades substantially.
Configurable Pin Settings
There are eight configurable hardware pins on the MatchPort unit. For each pin,
configure the pin function, communication direction, and its activity level. For more
information, see
Configurable Pins on page 71 .
