Table 31. 802.11g Radio Advanced Parameter Descriptions (Continued)

Parameter

Description

 

 

 

 

Fragmentation Threshold

Specifies the largest data frame that can

 

be transmitted without fragmentation.

 

Range is 256 to 1600.

 

On certain radios, the fragmentation does

 

not occur unless the radio detects

 

interference. Larger frame sizes can

 

improve throughput on a reliable

 

connection. Smaller frame sizes can

 

improve throughput on a poor connection.

 

 

Antenna control*

Specifies whether the radio uses two

 

antennas or one antenna:

 

Two Antennas: The radio selects the

 

antenna for transmission and reception

 

based on best reception.

 

One Antenna: The radio uses only one

 

antenna for transmission and reception.

 

 

Mixed Mode

Optimizes the frame burst window length

Performance*

to optimize performance for specific

 

clients. Gives more time to higher rate

 

frames to maximize throughput in the

 

presence of low rate clients. Range is 0 to

 

2000.

 

Optimized for 802.11g clients: 802.11g

 

transmissions are maximized.

 

Optimized for 802.11b clients: 802.11b

 

transmissions are maximized.

 

Optimize Mixed (802.11g and 802.11b):

 

Allows an optimal mix of 802.11g and

 

802.11b transmissions.

 

 

Enable Data Rate

Determines if you want the radio to drop to

Fallback

a slower data rate when it has trouble

 

communicating with another radio.
