Setting

Description

 

 

RTS Threshold (0–2347)

Enter the Request to Send (RTS) threshold. The default setting is

 

2347.

 

If the packet size is equal to or less than the RTS threshold, the

 

wireless access point uses the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with

 

Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) mechanism, and the data frame is

 

transmitted immediately after the silence period.

 

If the packet size is larger than the RTS threshold, the wireless access

 

point uses the CSMA with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA)

 

mechanism. In this situation, the transmitting station sends an RTS

 

packet to the receiving station and waits for the receiving station to

 

return a Clear to Send (CTS) packet before sending the actual packet

 

data.

 

 

Fragmentation Length (256–2346)

Enter the maximum packet size that is used for the fragmentation of

 

data packets. Packets that are larger than the specified fragmentation

 

length are broken up into smaller packets before being transmitted.

 

The fragmentation length needs to be an even number. The default

 

setting is 2346.
