Configuring Data Transmit Rates with the CLI

The data transmit rate is the data rate that the access points use to transmit data.

There are two types of data rates:

 Base data transmit rates

Mandatory rates that all connecting clients must support when connecting to

access points. For 802.11AN/BGN, the data rate is selected using MCS Index. The

actual data rate is computed based on MCS Index, Channel Width, and Guard

Interval. When channel width selected is 40MHz Extension above, then the data

rate for the client depends on associated clients channel width and guard interval

capabilities. Valid rates are as follows:

— 802.11b valid rates are 1, 2, 5.5, 11 Mbps, or all

— 802.11g valid rates are 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps, or all

— 802.11bg valid rates are 1, 2, 5.5, 11, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps, or all

— 802.11bgn valid rates are 1, 2, 5.5, 11, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps, or all

— 802.11a valid rates are 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps, or all

— 802.11an valid rates are 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54, or all

— 802.11an-mcs valid rates are MCS 0, MCS 1, MCS 2, MCS 3, MCS 4, MCS 5, MCS

6, MCS 7, MCS 8, MCS 9, MCS 10, MCS 11, MCS 12, MCS 13, MCS 14, MCS 15, or all

— 802.11bgn-mcs valid rates are MCS 0, MCS 1, MCS 2, MCS 3, MCS 4, MCS 5, MCS

6, MCS 7, MCS 8, MCS 9, MCS 10, MCS 11, MCS 12, MCS 13, MCS 14, MCS 15, or all

 Supported data transmit rates

Rates at which clients can optionally connect, provided the clients and access

points support the rates. Valid rates are as follows:

— 802.11b valid rates are 1, 2, 5.5, 11 Mbps, or all

— 802.11g valid rates are 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps, or all

— 802.11bg valid rates are 1, 2, 5.5, 11, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps, or

all

— 802.11bgn valid rates are 1, 2, 5.5, 11, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps,

or all

— 802.11a valid rates are 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps, or all

Note:

The AP150 does not support configuration of the Base/Supported data

rates. The default settings in use for these products are:

 802.11b: Base (1,2,5.5,11), Supported (1,2,5.5,11)

 802.11bg: Base (1,2,5.5,11), Supported (all)

 802.11a: Base (all), Supported (all)

Any data transmit rate settings made in the ESSID are ignored by AP150.
