The following table summarizes the information for the wireless settings.

This is the current SSID.

 

 

 

The user can change the SSID. The SSID is a unique identifier

 

SSID

 

that wireless networking devices use to establish and maintain

 

 

wireless connectivity. It is case sensitive and can contain up to 32

 

 

 

 

 

 

alphanumeric characters. Do not include special characters in the

 

 

 

SSID.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the current radio regulatory domain.

 

Domain

 

The user can choose the appropriate domain. The dropdown

 

 

menu shows a list of domains supported by the radio. Different

 

 

 

 

 

 

domains will show different channel lists.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the current radio channel in the selected domain.

 

 

 

The user can choose other channels from the dropdown list.

 

 

 

For a more consistent performance after a site survey, we

 

 

 

recommend that the user select a non-overlapping channel setting

 

Channel

 

for the radio. The radio channel settings correspond to the

 

 

 

frequencies available in the user regulatory domain.

 

 

 

Note: There should be a minimum separation of 40MHZ between

 

 

 

the two radio channels.

 

 

 

 

 

Dial-a-Power

 

Dial-a-Power is used to set the output power of the radio at the N

 

 

 

Connector.

 

 

 

The valid radio power range is from -5 dBm to 23 dBm.

 

 

 

 

 

Antenna Gain

 

This is the gain of the antenna attached with the airHaul2 Nexus

 

 

 

PRO unit. The gain input here is merely for the purpose of display

 

 

 

and for calculating the EIRP.

 

 

 

The user can select anywhere between 2.2dBi to 30 dBi.

 

 

 

 

 

RF cable Loss

 

This refers to the loss of a cable connecting antenna to the

 

 

 

airHaul2 Nexus PRO unit

Table

 

 

Note: The default value for Dial-a-Power is 18 dBm for FCC domain.

At high TX power levels, the radio tends to distort EVM due to the amplifier saturation and this affects throughput. If that happens, use a value lower than the maximum power level value, especially in the 5 GHz band.

Note: The default security of Root Bridge Mode is ACL+WEP so any WDS client or normal client needs to be added in the ACL either with WEP disabled/Enabled.
