Table 41 Profiles > RF > 802.11a/g Profile Settings (Continued) Field Default Description Maximum Distance 0 Maximum client distance, in meters. This value is used to derive ACK and CTS timeout times. A value of 0 specifies default settings for this parameter, where timeouts are only modified for outdoor mesh radios which use a distance of 16km. The upper limit for this parameter varies from 24-58km, depending on the radio's band (a/g) and 20/40 MHz mode. Note that if you configure a value above the supported maximum, the maximum supported value will be used instead. Values below 600m will use default settings. Protection for Yes 802.11b Clients Supported for 802.11g only, use this field to enable protection for 802.11b clients. Disabling this protection violates the 802.11b standard and may cause interoperability issues. 3. Select Add or Save.

Maximum Distance
0
Maximum client distance, in meters. This value is used to derive ACK and CTS timeout
times. A value of 0 specifies default settings for this parameter, where timeouts are only
modified for outdoor mesh radios which use a distance of 16km.
The upper limit for this parameter varies from 24–58km, depending on the radio’s band (a/g)
and 20/40 MHz mode. Note that if you configure a value above the supported maximum, the
maximum supported value will be used instead. Values below 600m will use default
settings.
Protection for
802.11b Clients
Yes
Supported for 802.11g only, use this field to enable protection for 802.11b clients. Disabling
this protection violates the 802.11b standard and may cause interoperability issues.
