radio active

Supported on: MSM310 MSM320 MSM335 MSM410 MSM422

radio active

Enables the radio.

no radio active

Disables the radio.

rts threshold

Supported on: MSM310 MSM320 MSM335 MSM410 MSM422

rts threshold <value>

Sets the RTS threshold.

no rts threshold

Deletes the RTS threshold value.

Parameters

< value>

Threshold value in the range 128 and 1540.

Description

Use this parameter to control collisions on the link that can reduce throughput. If the Status Wireless page on the management tool shows increasing values for Tx multiple retry frames or Tx single retry frames, you should adjust this value until the errors clear up. Start with a value of 1024 and then decrease to 512 until errors are reduced or eliminated.

Using a small value for RTS threshold can affect throughput.

If a packet is larger than the threshold, the AP will hold it and issue a request to send (RTS) message to the client station. Only when the client station replies with a clear to send (CTS) message will the AP send the packet. Packets smaller than the threshold are transmitted without this handshake.

distance

Supported on: MSM310 MSM320 MSM335 MSM410 MSM422

distance (small medium large)

Sets the distance between access points.
