WavePoint 10e
l If the Tx Antenna field is set to 3, the 802.11n MCS index values in the drop-down
menu range from 0 to 23.
12. Select the maximum Parent Rate to use when connecting to the upstream device
(Repeater or Access Point).
This parameter is applicable to the WavePoint 10e set as either a Repeater or Client.
Note: The available Parent Rate parameters are the same as in those available
in the Rate field.
13. Select the radio's Transmit Power in dBm, based on the radio's intrinsic power range.
When testing at a facility and devices are close in proximity to one another,
set the Transmit Power parameter to a low number.
When deploying the WavePoint 10e to the field, raise the Transmit Power
number accordingly.
14. Set the N only Mode option to On if legacy (802.11b or 802.11g) clients are NOT to
connect to this radio.
Selecting On ensures that the radio's bandwidth is only available for clients connecting at
802.11n rates.
15. Set the Enable AMSDU option to Off to optimize throughput for small sized data packets.
The 802.11n protocol uses this option to aggregate small size TCP packets.
Note: Small frames with the same physical source and destinations are combined
to a larger frame to improve overall throughput by cutting down transmission
overhead.
16. Use the Power Constraint field to limit the maximum power that an Access Point or
Repeater uses to communicate upstream.
The setting in this field does not change the transmit power for downstream
communications.
Example: Using this topography:
The Transmit Power in the Access Point and Repeater is set to 31 dBm and is
used for transmissions from the Access Point to the Repeater and from the
Repeater to the Client (endpoint).
The Repeater has a power constraint setting of 10 dBm, so transmission
