Hi. Thanx. The AP is a StarOS Access Point, not a AirPoint, and there are about 11 other clients connecting to that AP. All the others have great throughput, and there are hidden nodes right now for sure, since this is a widely spread outdoor system.
If the power is to low, what kind of symtoms should I expect? It doesn't reboot or stop responding or anything like that - just way lower than expected throughput. Is it possible that to low of electrical power would results in lower output strength or in false readings from the simpleMonitor's link monitor? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Haynes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2003 5:45 PM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Poor Rate Try setting the Fragmentation to around 600 and RTS/CTS to 350 on the airBridge unit. Leave the settings the same on the AP. Make sure you are using an 18v power supply on both ends. Turn the 'Dial-a-power' down about 10% on both units (about 3 ticks in the GUI). Are there other clients associated with this AP? If so, set the other clients RTS/CTS to around 500 for the near ones and 350 for those over 1 mile. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Support(at)inet2000.com Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2003 5:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] Poor Rate I have a airBridge Outdoor at about 8 miles that's consistenly showing numbers of 82% RSSI (-25dbi) and 92% Link Quality, yet it often drops to 2 Mbit per second and stays there. It's connected with a 24 dB Andrews Grid on a 60 Foot tower over fairly open fields to the AP that's on a 180 foot building that's clearly (Visually) in line of site. There are some trees about a half a mile away, but at 60' up the tower, I'm way over them. Even up 40' I can see over them to the main AP, so there should not be any substantial fresnel zone issues I don't think. I have tried setting the radio to 1 Mbit and 5.5 Mbit and it still seems to switch up and down from 1 to 11 at will, regardless of the settings I choose. Mostly though, it seems to have decided to stay at 2 Mbit. Like I say, my rates drop to 2 Mbit and I can't ping packets larger than about 128 bytes to the radio with any consistency. If I go to 256 byte packets, I loose 25% of them. If I ping with 384 byte packets, I'll lose 50% of them. This is my first SmartBridge, plus it's my longest link, so I'm not sure what to expect at that distance. Any suggestions / help would be appreciated. Thank you.
