Threshold value, an RTS is not sent and the data packet is transmitted directly to the WLAN.

??Short Retry Limit - The maximum number of transmission attempts for a frame that is shorter than or equal to the RTS Threshold. The default value is 8.

??Long Retry Limit - The maximum number of transmission attempts for a frame that is longer than the RTS Threshold. The default value is 4.

??Basic Rate - The maximum rate of multicast, broadcast and control frames transmissions. Multicast and broadcast transmissions are not acknowledged; therefore there is a chance that such transmissions will not be properly received without the possibility of using the acknowledgement mechanism for retransmission. Therefore, it is recommended to use a lower rate for transmission of broadcast, multicast and control frames, to increase the probability that they will be received without errors. Enter the data rate at which broadcast, multicast and control frames are transmitted. The default value is 2 Mbps.

NOTE: The Basic Rate parameter should be changed only if you are sure that all units in the cell can handle the defined rate. Use this parameter with caution, as it may bring the link down.

??Power – The transmit power level. The possible range is from –4dBm to +24dBm.

NOTE: The Power setting should not exceed the maximum output allowed in the applicable regulatory domain according to Table 3 on page 32.
