To Maximize Overall Data Performance
Change the Buffer Size for serial ports to the maximum of 1500. Longer packets are sent
over the air, reducing overhead. On the down side, if a packet is corrupted, it takes longer
to be retransmitted.
Use the Packet Statistics Menu to check Packets Received by Zone.
Counts should be evenly distributed across all zones. Block the zones at the AP that have
poor performance. (Main Menu > Radio
Configuration > Skip Zone Option)
Use the Packet Statistics Menu to check for errors, retries and dropped packets. Do the
same with Ethernet traffic.
Note that with weak signals, interference, or hidden nodes, the optimal performance may be
lower due to collisions and retries.
