Configuring Common Wi-Fi Parameters#

The following sections describe common Wi-Fi configuration parameters that enable/disable or configure various Wi-Fi features of the SiWT917 RCP Driver.

Note: The following insmod command may be used to configure multiple parameters at the same time. Note that this only applies to the parameters below that are configuring using insmod.

Replace module_param with the module parameter to be configured and <value> with the corresponding value that needs to be assigned. Module parameters in this section are grouped according to the corresponding feature.

insmod rsi_91x.ko [module_param = <value>], [module_param = <value>], ... , [module_param = <value>]

Power Save Features#

  1. insmod rsi_91x.ko enabled_uapsd = < value > : Enable the U-APSD power save mode and set the relevant parameters. If the Access Point does not support U-APSD power save, the module tries to mimic this mode.

    • 0 - Disable U-APSD mode

    • 1 - Enable U-APSD mode

    Default value of enabled_uapsd = 0.

  2. insmod rsi_91x.ko max_sp_len = < value > : U-APSD Service Period Length- This field indicates number of packets delivered by AP to station after receiving one trigger frame. This field value ranges between 0-3 as described below.

    • 0-All buffered packets will be delivered. (Default)

    • 1-Two buffered packets will be delivered.

    • 2-Four buffered packets will be delivered.

    • 3-Six buffered packets will be delivered.

    Note: This parameter is valid only when enabled_uapsd is set.

Miscelleneous Features#

  1. insmod rsi_91x.ko lmac_bcon_drop = < value > : LMAC beacon drop feature options.

    • 0 - Disable LMAC BEACON DROP Feature

    • 1 - Enable LMAC BEACON DROP Feature

    Default value for LMAC BEACON DROP Feature option is 1 - Enable LMAC BEACON DROP Feature.

  2. Hardware Beacon Miss Threshold

    • Default Value: 20

    • Input Parameters: Non-zero value

    • Output Parameter: None

    • Reset Required: No

    • Command: ./onebox_util rpine0 hw_bmiss_threshold < value >

    • Example: ./onebox_util rpine0 hw_bmiss_threshold 30

  3. Keep Alive Period

    • Default Value: 90

    • Input Parameters: Non-zero value

    • Output Parameter: None

    • Reset Required: No

    • Command: ./onebox_util rpine0 keep_alive < value >

    • Example: ./onebox_util rpine0 keep_alive 100

  4. Get RSSI: Run the following command to retrieve the current RSSI from the LMAC.

    • Default Value: None

    • Input Parameters: None

    • Output Parameter: None

    • Reset Required: No

    • Command: ./onebox_util rpine0 get_rssi

  5. Broadcast Filtering

    • Default Value: None

    • Input Parameters:

      • beacon_drop_threshold - value in

      • msec filter_bcast_in_tim - 1 to enable, 0 to disable

      • filter_bcast_tim_till_next_cmd - 1 to Enable, 0 to disable

    • Output Parameter: None

    • Reset Required: No

    • Command: ./onebox_util rpine0 < filter_bcast beacon_drop_threshold > < filter_bcast_in_tim > < filter_bcast_tim_till_next_cmd >

    • Example: ./onebox_util rpine0 filter_bcast 5000 1 0
