Advanced (Infrastructure)
The following parameters are contained in both the Infrastructure
and Ad Hoc Modes:
• Antenna Mode
• Specified Access Point
• RTS Threshold
• RTS Retry Limit
Antenna Mode
Three options are available for the type of antenna you have
connected to the PC3500:
•
Antenna Diversity
: This allows the PC3500 to use the
stronger signal from the two antenna ports. Diversity can
help the radio maintain the RF connection in areas of
interference. Due to the nature of how RF signals are
affected by the surroundings, one antenna may be in an RF
“null” where the signal is very weak, but the other antenna
(even though it is only a small distance away) may have a
stronger signal strength. The PC3500 would automatically
select the antenna that has the highest signal strength.
Antenna Diversity is the recommended setting for the
standard Snap-On antenna.
•
Right Antenna Only
: Choose this option if the antenna you
are using is connected to the right hand antenna port and
you are not using the standard Snap-On antenna. The
PC3500 will not to attempt to communicate using the left
hand antenna port since no antenna is connected to it.
•
Left Antenna Only
: Choose this option if the antenna you
are using is connected to the left hand antenna port and you
are not using the standard Snap-On antenna. This tells the
PC3500 not to attempt to communicate using the right hand
antenna port since no antenna is connected to it.
