The RTS Threshold, Beacon Interval, and Self Healing Offset fields are accompa-
nied by a column that describes the units in which these settings are config-
ured. For example, the RTS threshold is configured in bytes, and the beacon
interval is configured in units of 1,000 microseconds (or 1 millisecond).

Setting the Antenna Mode. A diversity antenna consists of two closely
spaced matching antennas designed to minimize small gaps in coverage: the
RP automatically selects the antenna that provides the strongest signal to a
particular station. The ProCurve RPs 210 and 230 always use their internal
omnidirectional diversity antennas, and the default setting for the antenna
mode is Diversity.
You may need to change the antenna mode for RP 220s, which use external
antennas. ProCurve Networking offers a variety of 2.4 and 5 GHz external
antennas for both indoor and outdoor use. Depending on its design, each
antenna offers a different pattern of coverage; some of the antennas are
diversity antennas and some are not. You connect the diversity antennas to
both SMA connectors on the radio. You connect non-diversity external anten-
nas to only one of the SMA connections (marked either primary or secondary).
