Chapter 8 Wireless Screen Table 23 Wireless: Access Point LABEL DESCRIPTION MCS Table The MCS Rate table is available only when 802.11n/g or 802.11n/ a is selected as the 802.11 Radio Mode. IEEE 802.11n supports many different data rates which are called MCS rates. MCS stands for Modulation and Coding Scheme. This is an 802.11n feature that increases the wireless network performance in terms of throughput. Enable Antenna Diversity Enable Spanning Tree Control (STP) Enable Roaming For each MCS Rate (0-15), select either Enable (default) to have the NWA use the data rate. Select Disable if you do not want the NWA to use the data rate. (For NWA-3160 and NWA-3163 only) Select this to use antenna diversity. Antenna diversity uses multiple antennas to reduce signal interference. (R)STP (Section 8.3.1 on page 144) detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a bridge to interact with other (R)STP -compliant bridges in your network to ensure that only one path exists between any two stations on the network. Select the check box to activate STP on the NWA. Roaming allows wireless stations to switch from one access point to another as they move from one coverage area to another. Select this checkbox to enable roaming on the NWA if you have two or more NWAs on the same subnet. Apply Reset Note: All APs on the same subnet and the wireless stations must have the same SSID to allow roaming. Click Apply to save your changes. Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh. 8.2.2 Bridge / Repeater Mode Use this screen to have the NWA act as a wireless network bridge / repeater and establish wireless links with other APs. You need to know the MAC address of the peer device, which also must be in bridge / repeater mode. NWA-3160 Series User's Guide 127
