DESCRIPTION

Beacon

When a wirelessly networked device sends a beacon, it includes with it a

Interval

beacon interval. This specifies the time period before the device sends the

 

beacon again. The interval tells receiving devices on the network how long

 

they can wait in low-power mode before waking up to handle the beacon.

 

This value can be set from 1ms to 1000ms. A high value helps save

 

current consumption of the access point.

 

 

RTS

Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS

Threshold

(Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake.

 

Enter a value between 256 and 2432 to enable an RTS/CTS handshake to

 

avoid retransmitting due to hidden nodes.

 

 

Fragmentatio

The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for

n Threshold

directed messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be

 

sent. Enter an even number between 800 and 2432.
