Siemens 6500 Series manual Data Transfer Rate, RTS/CTS Threshold, Fragmentation Threshold

6500 Series Residential Gateway User’s Guide Configuring Advanced Features

5.Optionally, configure the following items:

•Data Transfer Rate

If a particular wireless client is unable to auto-negotiate a connection to the Gateway, the data transfer rate may be set to a specific data rate such as 11 Mbps for 802.11b wireless clients.

•RTS/CTS Threshold

A group of wireless clients may experience difficulty communicating with the Gateway without interrupting each other’s communications. If this occurs, the RTS/CTS threshold may be set to a higher number to allow them each a longer period in which to communicate with the Gateway before the priority is switched to another wireless client wishing to transmit data.

•Fragmentation Threshold

The fragmentation threshold may be lowered to improve reliability in an excessively “noisy” wireless environment if changing channels does not provide significant enough improvement.

If you wish to reset the options in the “Wireless Options Configuration” window, click Restore Default Values. The system responds by restoring all the advanced features on this page.

6.Click Next. This displays the “Wireless Wizard” finish window.
