CLI commands

Use this parameter to adjust the receiver sensitivity of the AP. This parameter should only be changed if:

„you have more than one wireless access point installed in your location

„you are experiencing throughput problems

In all other cases, use the default setting of Large.

If you have installed multiple APs, reducing the receiver sensitivity of the AP from its maximum will help to reduce the amount of crosstalk between the wireless stations to better support roaming clients. By reducing the receiver sensitivity, client stations will be more likely to connect with the nearest access point.

dot11

Supported on: MSM310 MSM320 MSM335 MSM410 MSM422

dot11 <mode> <frequency>

Sets the wireless mode and the frequency the AP will operate at.

Parameters

<mode>

Sets the transmission speed and frequency band. The available options are

 

determined by the wireless card installed in the AP, and may include:

„a: Selects 802.11a providing 54 Mbps in the 5 GHz frequency band.

„b: Selects 802.11b providing 11 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz frequency band.

„g: Selects 802.11g providing 54 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz frequency band.

„bg: Selects 802.11b + 802.11g providing 11 and 54 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz frequency band.

„n: Selects 802.11n.

„an: Selects 802.11n + 802.11a, on the 5Ghz frequency band.

„gn: Selects 802.11n + 802.11g, on the 2.4Ghz frequency band.

„bgn: Selects 802.11n + 802.11g + 802.11b, on the 2.4Ghz frequency band.

<frequency>

Sets the operating frequency by specifying a number in GHz or by

 

specifying a channel number. The frequencies that are available are

 

determined by the radio installed in the AP and the regulations that apply

 

in your country.

 

For optimum performance when operating in 802.11b or 802.11g modes,

 

choose a frequency that differs from other wireless access points operating

 

in neighboring cells by at least 25 MHz.

 

If operating in 802.11a mode, all channels are non-overlapping.

transmit power

Supported on: MSM310 MSM320 MSM335 MSM410 MSM422

transmit power (DB max)

Sets the maximum transmission power of the wireless radio.

Parameters

<db>

Power is specified in steps of 1dBm. The maximum setting is 18 dBm.
