Chapter 4 Configuring Radio Settings
Configuring Radio Data Rates
You can also configure the WMIC to set the data rates automatically to optimize either range or
throughput. When you enter range for the data rate setting, the WMIC sets the 6-Mbps rate to basic and
the other rates to enabled if you are configuring a 2.4-GHz WMIC or a 4.9-GHz WMIC.
If you are configuring a 4.9-GHz WMIC set to 5-MHz spacing, the WMIC sets the 1.5- Mbps rate to
basic and the other rates to enable. If you are configuring a 4.9-GHz WMIC set to 10-MHz spacing, the
WMIC sets the 3.0-Mbps rate to basic and the other rates to enable. If you enter throughput for the data
rate setting, the WMIC sets all data rates to basic. Enter default to set the data rates to factory defaults
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the radio data rates:
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface dot11radio 0 Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface.
Step 3
speed
{[1.0] [2.0] [5.5] [6.0] [9.0] [11.0]
[12.0] [18.0] [24.0] [36.0] [48.0]
[54.0] [basic-1.0] [basic-2.0]
[basic-5.5] [basic-6.0] [basic-9.0]
[basic-11.0] [basic-12.0]
[basic-18.0] [basic-24.0]
[basic-36.0] [basic-48.0]
[basic-54.0] | range | throughput |
default }
Set each data rate to basic or enabled, or enter range to
optimize the range or throughput to optimize the throughput.
If you are entering the speed for a 2.4-GHz WMIC, enter
1.0, 2.0, 5.5, 6.0, 9.0, 11.0, 12.0, 18.0, 24.0, 36.0, 48.0, and
54.0 to set these data rates to enabled.
If you are entering the speed for a 4.9-GHz WMIC:
With 5-MHz spacing, enter a speed of 1.5, 2.25, 3.0, 4.5,
6.0, 9.0, 12.0, or 13.5. With 10-MHz spacing, enter a speed
of 3.0, 4.5, 6.0, 9.0, 12.0, 18.0, 24.0, or 27.0.
Enter basic-1.0, basic-2.0, basic-5.5, basic-6.0, basic-9.0,
basic-11.0, basic-12.0, basic-18.0, basic-24.0, basic-36.0,
basic-48.0, and basic-54.0 to set these data rates to basic.
Note The client must support the basic rate that you select or
it cannot associate to the WMIC. If you select 12 Mbps
or higher for the basic data rate on the 802.11g radio,
802.11b client devices cannot associate to the WMIC’s
802.11g radio.
• (Optional) Enter range or throughput to automatically
optimize radio range or throughput. When you enter
range, The WMIC sets the lowest data rate to basic and the
other rates to enabled. When you enter throughput, the
WMIC sets all data rates to basic.
(Optional) The default option sets data rates 1, 2, 5.5, 6,
11, 12, and 24 to basic, and data rates 9, 18, 36, 48, and 54
to enabled. These data rate settings allow both 802.11b and
802.11g client devices to associate to the WMIC’s 802.11g
radio.
Step 4
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
