Field

Description

 

 

 

 

Fragmentation Threshold

Enter a setting to determine the size at which

 

(256-2338)

packets are fragmented (sent as several

 

 

pieces instead of as one block).

 

 

Use a low setting in areas where

 

 

communication is poor or where there is a

 

 

great deal of radio interference.

 

 

 

 

RTS Threshold (0-2339)

Enter a setting to determine the packet size at

 

 

which the access point issues a request to

 

 

send (RTS) before sending the packet.

 

 

A low RTS Threshold setting can be useful in

 

 

areas where many client devices are

 

 

associating with the access point, or in areas

 

 

where the clients are far apart and can detect

 

 

only the access point and not each other.

 

 

 

 

Maximum RTS Retries (1-128)

Enter the maximum number of times the

 

 

access point issues an RTS before stopping

 

 

the attempt to send the packet through the

 

 

radio.

 

 

 

 

Max. Data Retires (1-128)

Enter the maximum number of attempts the

 

 

access point makes to send a packet before

 

 

giving up and dropping the packet.

 

 

 

 

Beacon Period (Kusec)

Enter the amount of time between beacons in

 

 

kilomicroseconds. (One kilomicrosecond

 

 

equals 1,024 microseconds.)
