Command Usage

•If the threshold is set to 0, the wireless bridge always sends RTS signals. If set to 2347, the wireless bridge never sends RTS signals. If set to any other value, and the packet size equals or exceeds the RTS threshold, the RTS/CTS (Request to Send / Clear to Send) mechanism will be enabled.

•The wireless bridge sends RTS frames to a receiving remote bridge to negotiate the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS frame, the remote bridge sends a CTS frame to notify the local bridge that it can start sending data.

•Wireless bridges contending for the wireless medium may not be aware of each other. The RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node” problem.

Example
