CONFIGURATION | DESCRIPTION |
|
|
RTS Threshold | The packet size that the wireless node uses to |
| determine if it should use the CSMA/CD |
| mechanism or the CSMA/CA mechanism for |
| packet transmission. With the CSMA/CD |
| transmission mechanism, the transmitting |
| station sends out the actual packet as soon as it |
| has waited for the silence period. With the |
| CSMA/CA transmission mechanism, the |
| transmitting station sends out an RTS packet to |
| the receiving station, and waits for the receiving |
| station to send back a CTS packet before |
| sending the actual packet data. |
| Default: 2346 |
|
|
Fragmentation Length | This is the maximum packet size used for |
| fragmentation. Packets larger than the size |
| programmed in this field will be fragmented. |
| The Fragment Threshold value must be larger |
| than the RTS Threshold value. |
| Default: 2346 |
|
|
Preamble Type | A long transmit preamble allows the receiver to |
| lock into the received bit patterns more easily. A |
| short transmit preamble provides better |
| performance. |
| Default: Long |
