Fragment Threshold

This is the packet length used for fragmentation. Packets larger

 

than the size programmed in this field will be fragmented. The

 

Fragment Threshold value must be larger than RTS Threshold

 

value. The default value for Fragment Threshold is 2346.

 

 

RTS Threshold

The packet size that the wireless node uses to determine if it should

 

use the CSMA/CD mechanism or the CSMA/CA mechanism for

 

packet transmission. With the CSMA/CD transmission

 

mechanism, the transmitting station sends out the actual packet as

 

soon as it has waited for the silence period. With the CSMA/CA

 

transmission mechanism, the transmitting station sends out a RTS

 

packet to the receiving station, waits for the receiving station to

 

send back a CTS packet before sending the actual packet data.

 

 

Power save mode

Power saving mode. This enables the wireless node to control its

 

wireless power consumption. The default setting for Power Save

 

mode is Disabled.
