Wireless LAN Monitor Utility

Advanced

The advanced feature allows you to change advanced configuration settings: Fragmentation Threshold, RTS Threshold and 802.11 Power Save.

Fragmentation Threshold The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes, determines whether packets will be fragmented and at what size. On an IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN, packets exceeding the fragmentation threshold are fragmented, i.e. split into, smaller units suitable for the circuit size. Packets smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold value are not fragmented.

RTS Threshold

When set (in bytes), it specifies the packet size beyond

 

which the Gigaset USB Adapter 11 invokes its RTS/CTS

 

mechanism. Packets that exceed the specified RTS threshold

 

trigger the RTS/CTS mechanism. The NIC transmits smaller

 

packets without using RTS/CTS.

802.11Power Save For uninterrupted data communication, you may leave this option blank to disable the power saving feature. To enable the power saving feature for your Gigaset USB Adapter 11, please check this box.

Changing the Fragmentation Threshold/RTS Threshold

By default, the Fragmentation Threshold and RTS Threshold are disabled. To change the Fragmentation Threshold/RTS Threshold parameters, move the slide bar with your mouse, or click on the slide bar and then use the right and left arrow keys of your keyboard to select an exact number.
