These settings are explained in the following table.
Name
Assigns the outdoor bridge a unique name that allows
the outdoor bridge to be easily identified on the
network.
SSID
Identifies the wireless domain that this outdoor bridge
is in. A wireless domain, in the case of outdoor
bridges, is ordinarily composed of two or more
outdoor bridges that are in communication with each
other via radio links. Wireless outdoor bridges that
will be in communication with each other must be
set to use the same SSID in order to be able to
establish a wireless link or links. You can type an
existing domain name or create a new one. An SSID is
case-sensitive and can contain up to 32 characters.
Transmission
Rate
Sets the transmission rate at which data packets are
transmitted by the outdoor bridge. In
high-interference environments
, a lower rate can
increase overall transmission speed by reducing
resends of lost packets.
