3 [-Optional-] Click Update Settings before reviewing the “common” advanced options.
Reviewing the Advanced::Common Options
This workspace permits access to advanced wireless functions. These settings should only be
changed by an experienced administrator. Incorrect settings can severely impact wireless
performance. It is recommended that the default settings be retained for best performance.
1 In the Configure::Wireless::Common workspace, click Edit Common Settings.
The Configure::Wireless::Advanced::Common workspace appears.
2 Make the following entries, as needed:
Data Rate (The default value is Best.) Select the preferred rate of data transmis-
sion from the drop-down menu. Selecting Best allows the AP to adapt
data transmission to the best rate available. The efficacy of rates
listed in the Data Rate drop-down menu is dependent on the Wireless
Mode previously specified.
WARNING—In order to fully benefit from the Ruckus AP’s capabilities,
it is advisable not to change this value unless absolutely necessary.
Transmit Power (The default is Full.) Select the level of transmit power from the drop-
down menu. This option sets the maximum transmit power level rela-
tive to the pre-defined power (this value differs according to the cur-
rent country code).
Beacon Interval (The default value is 100.) A beacon is a broadcast packet regularly
sent out by the AP to continually synchronize wireless network com-
munication. The Beacon Interval value determine the frequency, mea-
sured in milliseconds.
Protection Mode (Inactive by default.) If you activate protection, you control how
802.11 devices know when they should communicate to another
device. This is important in a mixed environment of both 802.11b and
802.11g clients. WARNING: Activating this option (and configuring the
settings) boosts the interoperability of 802.11b and 802.11g devices
but will severely decrease performance.
