Beacon Computer Lan Adapter manual Advanced Ad Hoc/IBSS, RTS Retry Limit, Channel

Edit Parameters

RTS Retry Limit

This parameter controls the number of times the PC Card will re-send the RTS packet if it does not receive a CTS from the previously sent RTS packet. Setting this to a large value will decrease the available bandwidth whenever interference is encountered, but will make the system more immune to interference and collisions. Refer to the IEEE 802.11 Standard for more information on the RTS/CTS mechanism.

Advanced (Ad Hoc/IBSS)

In Ad Hoc Mode, you can also modify the following parameters:

•Channel

•Beacon Period

•Wake Duration

Channel

This parameter specifies the channel identifier the unit will use if it must start its own network. For all other situ- ations, the radio will scan for the proper frequency. See Appendix C for channel identifier parameters.
