bTo change the minimum rate at which a radio is allowed to transmit traffic to clients, select the rate from the Client Data Rate pull-down list.

The radio automatically increases its transmit power when necessary to maintain at least the minimum rate with an associated client.

The valid values depend on the radio type. All values are in Mbps.

„For 802.11g radios — 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 11, 9, 6, 5.5, 2, or 1

„For 802.11b radios — 11, 5.5, 2, or 1

„For 802.11a radios — 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, or 6

The default minimum data transmit rate depends on the radio type:

„The default minimum data rate for 802.11b/g and 802.11b radios is 5.5 Mbps.

„The default minimum data rate for 802.11a radios is 24 Mbps.

cTo change the maximum percentage of client retransmissions a radio can experience before RF Auto-Tuning considers changing the channel on the radio, select the percentage from the Data Retransmissions pull-down list.

A high percentage of retransmissions is a symptom of interference on the channel.

You can specify from 1 to 100. The default is 10.

9If the MAP access point has only one radio, go to step 10. Otherwise, click Next and repeat step 3 through step 8 for the other radio.

10Do one of the following:

„To modify connection settings for the MAP, see “To modify a MAP connection”.

„To save changes and close the wizard, click Finish.
