Configuring Rate Settings
Use the Rate Settings screen to define a set of basic and supported rates for the target radio. This allows
the radio to sync with networks using varying data rates and allows the radio to default to a predefined set
of data rates when higher data rates cannot be maintained.
To configure a radio’s rate settings:
1. Click the Rate Settings button in the radio edit screen to launch a screen wherein rate settings can be
defined for the radio.
2. Check the boxes next to all Basic Rates you want supported by this radio.
Basic Rates are used for management frames, broadcast traffic and multicast frames. If a rate is selected
as a basic rate it is automatically selected as a supported rate.
3. Check the boxes next to all Supported Rates you want supported by this radio.
Supported Rates allow an 802.11 network to specify the data rate it supports. When a station attempts
to join the network, it checks the data rate used on the network. If a rate is selected as a basic rate it is
automatically selected as a supported rate.
4. Click the Clear all rates button to uncheck all of the Basic and Supported rates.
5. Refer to the Status field for the current state of the requests made from applet. This field displays error
messages if something goes wrong in the transaction between the applet and the switch.
6. Click OK to use the changes to the running configuration and close the dialog.
7. Click Cancel to close the dialog without committing updates to the running configuration.
