4: Web Manager Configuration

 

Note: If Auto Rate Fallback is enabled and a minimum TX data rate

 

other than 1Mbps is configured, the radio will operate in Single Rate

 

Drop mode. This means that if a rate drop becomes necessary, the

 

radio will drop from the maximum rate to the lowest rate, ignoring all

 

rates in between. This reduces the potential number of packet

 

retransmission attempts, because the radio attempts to transmit a

 

packet three times before transitioning to the next lowest TX rate.

 

 

Max TX Failures

Determines the maximum number of consecutive transmit packet

 

failures before the device will drop its association with the AP and

 

attempt to establish a new one. The range of attempts is 6 to 64 with

 

255 equaling disabled. The default is 6 failed attempts.

 

 

Radio Power

Power management reduces the overall power consumption of the

Management

WiBox 2100E unit. Selecting Enable increases the response time.

 

Power management is not permitted in Ad-Hoc mode.

 

 

AP Roaming

SmartRoam technology takes a proactive approach in transfer ring

 

connectivity from one AP to another AP belonging to the same ESS

 

(having the same SSID or Network Name).

 

If enabled, SmartRoam manages the dynamic list of APs belonging to

 

the same network as the AP to which the WiBox 2100E is currently

 

associated and stores relevant selection criteria for this list. The WiBox

 

2100E uses these criteria to identify a candidate AP. If the candidate AP

 

is not the current one, the WiBox 2100E dissociates from the current

 

one and associates to the candidate.

 

The roaming technology also triggers candidate selection if the WiBox

 

2100E reaches the boundaries of good signal coverage for the current

 

AP instead of waiting until signal quality degrades substantially.

Updating Settings

1. Click Apply Settings on the main menu to save and apply the configuration changes.

Note: Clicking OK on each page does not change the configuration on the device. Clicking the OK button tells the WiBox what changes to use; the Apply Settings button makes the changes permanent and reboots the WiBox 2100E.

Applying Defaults

1.Click the Apply Defaults button to reset the unit’s settings to the factory defaults, except for the network IP address, gateway, netmask, and WLAN settings. For a complete list of the default settings, see Default Settings.

2.Click Yes to confirm application of factory settings or click No to cancel.
