Advanced Setup Page
The Advanced Setup
page includes several important parameters including RF TX Power, RF RX Threshold, and Target
RSSI from SU (AP only). This screen also includes the radio’s channel table, which can be configured by the user.
Note: M5830 Series radios include the ISM band on this screen. FOX Series radios only include the ISM band.
RF TX Power: Sets the conducted RF power output from the radio. This does not include antenna gain. A higher
number is more powerful.
RF RX Threshold: Sets the receive threshold of the radio.. By increasing the RF RX Threshold, the user effectively
reduces the receiver sensitivity of the radio. The advantage of increasing the receiver threshold is
that the radio will not process signals received below this level, so it is very useful for mitigating
interference. The disadvantage of increasing the receiver threshold is a corresponding reduction in
range due to reduced receiver sensitivity. For a smaller radius of operation use a higher threshold
(-65 is higher than -70).
Target RSSI from SU: Used by the power leveling process to automatically adjust the RF output power level of all SUs
in a sector so the signal strength from each SU as measured at the AP, will be roughly equal.
Make sure that all SUs are power leveled after changing this number (See Link Control
page).
Channel Table: Assigns channel numbers to actual frequencies of operation. Default settings allow the largest
number of channels within the band, while still maintaining a 20 MHz channel width.
