RTS/CTS Threshold | (Request To Send) The threshold (number of bytes) for enabling RTS/CTS |
| handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/ |
| CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU |
| (MAC service data unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this |
| attribute to zero turns on the RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a value between 800 |
| and 2432. |
Fragmentation | The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed |
Threshold | messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a |
| value between 800 and 2432. |
