   Advanced Radio Settings

   

   Radio Share Mode

   Radio operates as a sensor and a traffic forwarder. Valid values are: Off Disables the Radio Share capability. Inline The AP reports to the ADSP server only the multicast / broadcast traffic, such as beacons and probe requests. Inline mode has minimal impact on the AP performance, because the AP only reports (to the ADSP server) the traffic that it processes. Promiscuous The AP receives all of the packets It sees on its operating channel and forwards them to the ADSP server. Promiscuous mode loads the AP resources, because AP has to process all of the traffic in the channel. In high-density, wireless deployments, use dedicated sensors instead of Radio Share in Promiscuous mode. Note Set the AP to Promiscuous mode when the AP is required to perform termination.

   Min Basic Rate for Radios

   Select the minimum data rate that must be supported by all stations in a BSS: 6, 12, or 24 Mbps. Min Basic Rate is used for connecting the clients to the BSS. Data rates used for traffic are higher or equal to the Min Basic Rate, and depend on client capabilities and environment conditions. Only mixed mode (ANC or GN) is supported. Strict mode (n-strict and ac-strict) is not supported, therefore, HT minimum basic rates are not supported.

   Aggregate MPDU	Enable Aggregate MPDU for significant improvement in throughput.
   STBC	STBC is a simple open loop transmit diversity scheme. When enabled, STBC configuration is 2x1 (two spatial streams combine into one spatial stream). TXBF overrides STBC if both options are enabled for single stream rates.
   Tx Beam Forming	Enable Transmit Beam Forming to get better signal-to-noise ratio on the receiver side. This option is not applicable to all AP models.
   Trigger Site-Wide Channel Selection	To enable Automatic Channel Selection (ACS) on an AP radio for a site, select either Radio 1 or Radio 2. The command is sent to one of the APs in the site, and the AP negotiates channel selection with other APs in the group. Automatic Channel Selection is per radio. (The operating channels that were chosen can be viewed after you save your changes by selecting Sites and viewing the Networks tab for a specific site.)

4. Select Save.
