The pull-down menu allows the user to select a long, short or dynamic radio
preamble. The default is dynamic.
Long: a long preamble ensures compatibility with most clients.
Short: a short preamble improves throughput performance. But only allow short
preamble capable clients to associate.
Dynamic: a dynamic preamble allows mixing of short and long preamble.
Throughput
Optimizer
The Throughput Optimizer is used to optimize the radio Link speed and
performance.
The Valid range is 0 to 10. The default value is 6.
Setting a higher value will cause the radio to attempt to establish at the highest
possible data rate in an aggressive way. A smaller "Throughput Optimizer"
value means a more stable link.
Note: The default value for the Throughput Optimizer is 6. Vary the Throughput
Optimizer settings to achieve a more stable link.
Follow the steps below to change the performance parameters:
1. From the ’Radio Configuration’ page click on the ’Performance’ link.
2. Enter the ’Fragment Length’, ’RTS/CTS Length’ and RSSI Threshold in the appropriate boxes.
3. Select throughput from ‘Throughput Optimizer’.
4. Click on the ’Apply Changes’ button to effect the changes.
