802.11b Advanced Wireless LAN Configuration Parameters

CONFIGURATION	DESCRIPTION

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 an RTS packet to
	the receiving station, and waits for the receiving
	station to send back a CTS packet before
	sending the actual packet data.
	Default: 2346

Fragmentation Length	This is the maximum packet size used for
	fragmentation. Packets larger than the size
	programmed in this field will be fragmented.
	The Fragment Threshold value must be larger
	than the RTS Threshold value.
	Default: 2346

Preamble Type	A long transmit preamble allows the receiver to
	lock into the received bit patterns more easily. A
	short transmit preamble provides better
	performance.
	Default: Long
