Baud Rate
The speed of communication between devices on the network. All devices must
communicate at the same rate.
bps
Bits per Second. A measure of data transmission speed across a network or
communications channel; bps is the number of bits that can be sent or received per
second.
C
CACT
CACT is an acronym for Channel Availability Check Time, a parameter used in DFS
channel selection. During DFS when a radio changes channels, it must listen for the
CACT on the new channel before beginning operations. For most channels the CACT is
60 seconds.
Channel
One portion of the available radio spectrum that all devices on a wireless network use to
communicate. Changing the channel on the access point/router can help reduce
interference.
Channel Move Time
The maximum time a radio can take to transition to another channel when radar is
detected. Typically 10 seconds.
Client, Radio Mode
A radio in Client mode can connect to any Access Point, but can only support one
Ethernet device. See also Repeater, Radio Mode.
