1 Mbits/s and 11 Mbits/s Multicast Rates

NOTE

There is an inter-dependent relationship between the Distance between APs and the Multicast Rate. In
general, larger systems operate at a lower average transmit rate. The variation between Multicast Rate and
Distance Between APs is presented in the following table:

1.0 Mbit/s

2.0 Mbits/s

5.5 Mbits/s

11 Mbits/s

The Distance Between APs must be set before the Multicast Rate, because when you select the Distance
Between APs, the appropriate range of Multicast values automatically populates the drop-down menu. This
feature is only available when using an HP ProCurve Wireless 802.11b AP Card 150wl.
