Title: RE: [smartBridges] Smartbridge APPO max client associations?

If my network works fine now with them all at 2346. What would I gain by doing this (setting it to 1450 or lower) what exactly should I watch to see if it improves my network? Start at the farthest clients and work my way in? Or leave it until I see a problem (what would be the problem?)   ----- Original Message ----- From: phantam To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 9:38 PM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Smartbridge APPO max client associations? No 0 is for every packet 2347 is disabled but like was said anything over 1500 technically is disabled -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Summers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 9:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]  RTS at 0 is to low. Set it to 256 or 512 and let it  run for a little while to see what effect it has. Setting it to 0 will either disable it, or will use RTS for every packet no matter the size. (I forget which) It's probably disabling it since it didn't have any effect on your throughput.

OK, I went through and set all my clients to a RTS of 0 and the throughtput on the busy (35 clients) APPO is still only 600-1000 Kbps.  I think I may have hit a wall on the APPO. Any other suggestions before I add a 3rd APPO?

Fragmentation Threshold : The size at which packets will be fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block). Use a low setting in areas where communication is poor or where there is a great deal of radio interference. RTS Threshold : Minimum packet size to require an RTS (Request to Send). For packets smaller than this threshold, an RTS is not sent and the packet is transmitted directly to the WLAN. A low RTS Threshold setting can be useful in areas where many client devices are associating with the access point, or in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect only the access point and not each other.

RTS and Frag are both set at 2346... not sure what this does or means? any explanation and example of what changing these values does would be great. Thanks, Eric ----- Original Message ----- From: phantam To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 11:21 AM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Smartbridge APPO max client associations? 35 should work matters if the RTS and frag are all tweaked or are they all talking at the same time? The clients that is. I have about 28 on my pop's and we had swore at one point not to go above 25 on our site hence we're upgrading personally we don't use splitters its another point of failure but it should work with the amp none the less. It really depends on use the 11mb RF is aggregate and shared so if everyones on or all the radios are talking or evne the majority there going to go nuts.

I have 1 APPO that has 35 clients on it, and 1 APPO that has only 5 clients... the lesser of the two can get 2 Mbps throuput, which is what we are feeding it from the backhaul, however on the APPO with 35 clients, the max throughput I can get is about 700 to 800 Kbps.  The setup is as follows: 1 APPO --> .5 Watt Amp --> Splitter --> 2 - 120 degree sector antennas. 1 APPO --> 1 - 120 degree sector antenna The APPO experiencing throughput problems it the one that has the splitter on it.. could this be causing the problem? We just purchased the WISP that setup the APPOs and I am not opposed to adding a 3rd APPO if that would be a viable solution, but I am concerned if 35 clients is going to hinder the performance that much.
