Max Scanning Time—The maximum time to try to connect to an AP before
trying the next one in the AP Locations file.
RSSI Threshold—The RSSI cutoff for Signal modes. When the RSSI drops
below this value, the Remote disconnects and looks for a new AP.
SNR Threshold—The SNR cutoff point for Signal modes. When the SNR
drops below this value, the Remote disconnects and looks for a new AP.
Distance Threshold—The distance cutoff when operating in Distance
mode. When the Remote's AP gets farther away than this distance, it dis-
connects and look for a new AP.
Blacklist Time—The amount of time (in seconds) that an AP is ignored
when the Remote is trying to find a better connection.

• Adaptive Modulation—Enables automatic selection of modulation
and FEC rate based on SNR. [enabled, disabled; enabled]
• Protection Margin—A number of decibels of SNR added to the
minimum SNR required for a given modulation and FEC rate.
See “Modulation Protection and Hysteresis Margins” on
Page 75 for more information. [
0-50; 3]
• Hysteresis Margin—A number of decibels of SNR added to the
maximum SNR required before shifting to the next higher mod-
ulation and FEC rate.
See “Modulation Protection and Hyster-
esis Margins” on Page 75 for more information. [
0-50; 3]
• Data Compression—This setting determines whether over-the-air
data packets will be compressed. [enabled, disabled; enabled]
