|
|
| preamble algorithm is used. Otherwise, the long preamble algorithm is used. |
| Slot Time Algorithm | Factory Default = Local STA’s |
|
| Possible Response: |
|
| Always Off: Transmissions are done using a 20 usec slot time. |
|
| Always ON: Transmissions are done using a usec slot time (SST). |
|
| Local STA’s: If all associated stations support SST, then the 9 usec slot time is |
|
| used. Otherwise, the 20 uses slot time is used. |
|
| Enhanced Dynamic: Similar to Local STA’s, with the following extension: If |
|
| associated stations that do not support SST do not transmit for a period of time, the |
|
| 9 usec slot time is used. |
| PBCC Algorithm | Factory Default = Enhanced Dynamic |
|
| Possible Response: |
|
| Always Off: PBCC is not used, operation at 22 Mbps is not possible. |
|
| Always ON: PBCC is used. |
|
| Local STA’s: If all associated stations support PBCC, then PBCC is used. |
|
| Otherwise, PBCC is not used. |
|
| Dynamic: Similar to local STA’s with the following extension: PBCC setting is |
|
| also dependent on Beacon frames from overlapping BSS. If Beacon frames are |
|
| received that do not support PBCC, then PBCC is not used. |
|
| Enhanced Dynamic: Similar to Dynamic with the following extension: If associated |
|
| stations that do not support PBCC do not transmit for a period of time, then PBCC |
|
| is not used. |
| ERP Protection Algorithm | Factory Default = Dynamic |
|
| Possible Response: |
|
| Always Off: ERP is not used |
|
| Always ON: ERP is used. |
|
| Local STA’s: If there are any associated stations than do not support ERP, a |
|
| protection algorithm is used to prevent contention. |
|
| Dynamic: Similar to local STA’s with the following extension: The ERP protection |
|
| setting is also dependent on Beacon frames from overlapping BSS. IF Beacon |
|
| frames are received that indicate ERP is not supported, then a protection algorithm |
|
| is used. |
|
| Enhanced Dynamic: Similar to Dynamic with the following extension: If associated |
|
| stations that do not support ERP do not transmit for a period of time, then |
|
| protection algorithm is not used. |
| Rate Adaptation | Factory Default = Enable |
|
| If disabled, the highest rate shared between VersaLink and STA is used for each |
|
| transmission. |
| Rate Fallback | Factory Default = After 1 Retry |
|
| The number of retries to attempt before falling back to the next lower rate. If |
|
| Fallback is disabled, the starting rate is the only rate tried. IF Rate Adaptation is |
|
| also disabled, the maximum rate shared with the STA is always the starting rate |
|
| and the only rate tried. This may not work in noisy environments, and will reduce |
|
| roaming distances. |
|
| Possible Response: After 1 Retry/ Disable/ After 1 Retry/ After 2 Retry |
| 802.11b Rates (Mbps) | These are the allowable communication rates that VersaLink will attempt to use. |
| 802.11g Rates (Mbps) | The rates are also broadcast within the connection protocol as the rates supported |
|
| by VersaLink. |
