Printronix Integrated Network Interface Card manual Set the wireless transfer rate speed

Store Commands

Set the wireless transfer rate (speed):

store ifc <IFNUM> wlan speed auto<1 2 5 11>

<ifnum> is the interface number for the wireless device. <speed-flags> are the speeds being selected. They are entered as a list of integers, separated by 'space' characters. The following values are supported: 1 for 1Mbps, 2 for 2Mbps, 5 for 5.5Mbps, and 11 for 11Mbps. Using the word "auto" instead of any number will set the card to use automatic negotiation.

Set the wireless channel number:

store ifc <IFNUM> wlan channel default <1-15>

<ifnum> is the interface number for the wireless device. <channel-num> selects the RF channel number (1 to 15) used in ad-hoc mode. The word "default" will inform the device driver to use the card's factory set default channel.

Set wireless antenna type:

store ifc <IFNUM> wlan antenna diverseprimaryaux <ANTENNA-TYPE>

<ifnum> is the interface number for the wireless device. <antenna-type> is the type of antenna to be used: "primary", "aux" (auxiliary or external) and "diverse". "diverse" allows the WLAN card to decide on the optimal antenna during operation.

Set the wireless preamble length:

store ifc <IFNUM> wlan preamble defaultlongshort <LEN-TYPE>

<ifnum> is the interface number for the wireless device. <len-type> is the type of preamble length required. It can be "long", "short", or "default". "default" allows the card to use its own factory-default.

Set the wireless power management mode:

store ifc <IFNUM> wlan pmm onoff

<ifnum> is the interface number for the wireless device. The string "off" disables power-save mode. "on" enables power-save mode with a default sleep-time of 100ms.
