Network performance can be optimized with the following variables.
Table 3.6 - Advanced Network Keywords
Keywords | Value | Description |
|
|
|
LONGRETRYLIMIT | 0 – 255 | Optional – specifies the number of |
|
| times an unfragmented packet will |
|
| be retried before the packet is |
|
| dropped and a transmit error is |
|
| reported to driver (default is 16). |
|
|
|
SHORTRETRYLIMIT | 0 – 255 | Optional – specifies the number of |
|
| times that a fragmented packet will |
|
| be retried to gain access before a |
|
| packet is dropped and a transmit |
|
| error is reported to the driver |
|
| (default is 16). |
|
|
|
RTSTHRESHOLD | 0 – 2312 | Optional – specifies the minimum |
|
| frame size, in bytes, for which RTS/ |
|
| CTS delivery will be used. Packets |
|
| longer than this value will be deliv- |
|
| ered using RTS/CTS handshaking |
|
| (default is 300). |
|
|
|
TXMSDULIFETIME | 0 – 0xFFFF | Optional – specifies the maximum |
|
| time to attempt packet delivery |
|
| (default is 5,000 K∝sec |
|
| [5 seconds]). |
|
|
|
RXMSDULIFETIME | 0 – 0xFFFF | Optional – specifies the maximum |
|
| time for receiving a fragmented |
|
| packet (default is 10,000 K∝sec |
|
| [10 seconds]). |
|
|
|
TXPOWERLEVEL | 0 – 100 | Optional – selects the next highest |
|
| programmed power level for trans- |
|
| mit in mW. |
|
|
|
RXDIVERSITY | DEFAULT, ON, | Optional – specifies the receive |
| RIGHT, LEFT | diversity method to be used by the |
|
| PC Card (default is on). |
|
|
|
TXDIVERSITY | DEFAULT, ON, | Optional – specifies the transmit |
| RIGHT, LEFT | diversity method to be used by the |
|
| PC Card (default is on). |
