Typical situations that cause problems in the wireless LAN environment include a decrease in signal strength below a certain threshold, the percentage of lost packets exceeding a certain threshold, or packets frequently having to be resent—all of which can greatly reduce the available bandwidth.
In order to recognize and react to these situations, LANCOM Wireless devices now feature alarms to provide information on the over- or undershooting of threshold values.
Anmerkung: A connection is not absolutely rated as poor. The assessment always depends on the parameters that are specified. It should be noted that threshold limits that are too high or too low can lead to incorrect evaluation, and that a very large number of false alarms could be the result. A certain amount of packet loss and fluctuating signal strengths are to be expected even for stable wireless connections.
Threshold limits can be set for each individual SSID and point-to-point link supported by an access point. These limits are used to evaluate a client's connection to the SSID and the connection to a P2P remote.
