3-MBPS WIRELESS ETHERNET HUBS, ADAPTERS, AND BRIDGES
Using one antenna as opposed to a set of two may
reduce the effective range due to multipath
problems. For this reason the single 18 dBi and 24
dBi antennas are mounted on high rooftops where
degradation of performance due to multipath
problems is minimized. The main application of
these high-gain antennas is point-to-point long
distance bridging.
You can select one of three antenna modes:
0 = Intelligent Antenna Selection
The unit constantly monitors the received signal
from both the antennas and selects the received
signal from the antenna with the highest receive
signal strength. This antenna is then used for
transmitting the next packet.
1 = Select Antenna 1
Antenna 1 is used for receiving and transmitting.
2 = Select Antenna 2
Antenna 2 is used for receiving and transmitting.
