Transmit power and RSSI are important criteria for getting a stable link

Throughput Optimizer

The default value for the Throughput Optimizer is 6

Throughput Optimizer settings is used to optimize the wireless link throughput

Smaller "Throughput Optimizer" value means more stable link

Performance

The primary reason for implementing RTS/CTS is to minimize collisions and retransmission in a highly overcrowded.

Fragmentation

Fragmentation can be used to avoid retransmission of the packets.

The fragment size value can typically be set between 256 and 2,048 bytes.

Fragmentation can improve throughput if the fragmentation threshold is set just right value.

Range

Maximum range of sB3010 is 20 Miles

6 Miles can easily achieved with 23 dBi antenna

More than 6 miles can be achieved by using high gain antennas.

RSSI

Recommended RSSI value of -75 dB or better for optimal performance.

Profile manager

With Profile manager one can save/load multiple Operating profiles on the device.

The Profile Calendar will automatically activate them at defined times.

Optimal bandwidth utilization of the bandwidth on the basis of various time intervals as per the traffic pattern of the customer can be achieved through pre-scheduling of profiles

Bandwidth Controller

Bandwidth Controller will define the Maximum upload Wireless Throughput (Kbps) for a radio.

Maximum bandwidth capping for sB3010 is 15 Mbps

Link Test

Web based ping test and throughput test option is available for testing a link.

Association of Radio

In the 5 GHz band, due to DFS requirements (avoidance of interfering with Military Radar), there might be a time delay in association of a radio. Usually it will associate within 1 minute.

For few channels the radios is required to sense the channel for a full one minute before it will even send out a beacon for setting up a link
