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.
