Radio Port Configuration
Configuring Radio Settings
To deselect all of a radio’s data rates at once, click the Clear All Rates button.
Remember, however, that you must configure at least one basic data rate for the radio.
Otherwise, an error message will be displayed when you click the OK button, as shown
in Figure 3-8.

Setting Advanced Radio Properties
The third section of a radio type’s default Configuration screen allows you to
configure advanced radio properties. You can:
■ alter the antenna mode
■ limit the maximum number of stations supported by the radio
■ set an adoption preference ID
■ require support for the short preamble (typically, to raise data rates in a network
that includes only 802.11g stations or VoWLAN devices)
■ improve wireless network performance by fine tuning:
• the Request to Send (RTS) threshold
• the delivery traffic indication messages (DTIM) and beacon intervals
■ set the self healing offset in networks that use neighbor recovery
The RTS Threshold, Beacon Interval, and Self Healing Offset fields are accompanied
by a column that describes the units in which these settings are configured. For
example, the RTS threshold is configured in bytes, and the beacon interval is
configured in units of 1,000 microseconds (or 1 millisecond).
