Chapter 5 Advanced Configuration
Overview
Table 5-6 lists and describes the client adapter’s advanced infrastructure parameters. Follow the
instructions in the table to initially set or to change any parameters.
Table 5-6 Advanced (Infrastructure) Parameters
Parameter Description
Antenna Mode (Receive) Specifies the antenna that your client adapter uses to receive data:
• PC card—The PC card’s integrated, permanently attached
antenna operates best when used in diversity mode. Diversity
mode allows the card to use the better signal from its two antenna
ports.
Range: Diversity (Both), Right Antenna Only, Left Antenna Only
Default: Diversity (Both)
• LM card – The LM card is shipped without an antenna; however,
an antenna can be connected through the card’s external
connector. If a snap-on antenna is used, we recommend diversity
mode. Otherwise, select the mode that corresponds to the antenna
port to which the antenna is connected.
Range: Diversity (Both), Right Antenna Only, Left Antenna Only
Default: Diversity (Both)
• PCI client adapter—The PCI client adapter must use the Right
Antenna Only option
Default: Right Antenna Only
Antenna Mode (Transmit) Specifies the antenna that your client adapter uses to transmit data.
See the Antenna Mode (Receive) parameter above for information on
the options available for your client adapter.
Specified Access Point 1- 4 Specifies the MAC addresses of up to four preferred access points
with which you want to associate. If the specified access points are not
found or you roam out of range, you might associate to another access
point.
You can enter the MAC addresses of the access points in the edit boxes
or choose not to specify access points by leaving the boxes blank.
Default: No access points specified
Note This parameter should be used only for access points that are
in repeater mode. For normal operation, leave these fields
blank because specifying an access point slows down the
roaming process.
