Fragment length

The fragment length. The range is between 256 and 2346 bytes. The

 

default is 2346.

 

The MF2501 Adapter uses fragmentation to divide 802.11 frames into

 

smaller fragments which are sent separately to the destination. Only

 

unicast frames can be fragmented. The fragment length can be between

 

256-2346 bytes. If the data that the MF2501 Adapter is transmitting is

 

larger than the threshold, it will trigger the fragmentation function. If the

 

packet size is equal to or less than the threshold, the access point will not

 

use fragmentation. In a good wireless environment, the larger the

 

fragment, the more efficient the network operates. In a noisy environment,

 

the fragment length should be adjusted to a smaller size to minimize

 

retransmission and increase the reliability of the transmission.

 

 

RTS/CTS Threshold

The RTS-CTS threshold range. The range is between 256 and 2346. The

 

default is 2346.

 

The RTS-CTS threshold is a value that determines at what frame length

 

the request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS-CTS) function is triggered. By

 

default, this threshold is set at its highest value. A lower threshold value

 

means that the RTS-CTS function is triggered for smaller frame lengths.

 

A lower threshold may be necessary in environments with excessive

 

signal noise or hidden nodes; but this may result in some performance

 

degradation.

 

 

We need to make a glaring warning about not using turbo or super G when using IPTV applications. Something like: Using Turbo and/or super G mode is NOT supported when running video streams, these modes are intended for diagnostic and for networks where only non-video traffic is transmitted.

!

CAUTION:—Using Turbo and/or super G mode is NOT supported when running video streams, these modes are intended for diagnostic and for networks where only non-video traffic is transmitted.
