Channel Drop-down menu that allows selection of specific
channel
Auto Channel Timer (min) Auto channel scan timer in minutes (0 to disable)
54g™ Rate Drop-down menu that specifies the following fixed
rates:
Auto: Default. Uses the 11 Mbps data rate when
possible but drops to lower rates when necessary.
1 Mbps, 2Mbps, 5Mbps, or 11Mbps fixed rates. The
appropriate setting is dependent on signal strength.
Multicast Rate Setting multicast packet transmit rate
Basic Rate Setting basic transmit rate
Fragmentation Threshold A threshold, specified in bytes, that determines
whether packets will be fragmented and at what size.
On an 802.11 WLAN, packets that exceed the
fragmentation threshold are fragmented, i.e., split into,
smaller units suitable for the circuit size. Packets
smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold
value are not fragmented.
Enter a value between 256 and 2346.
If you experience a high packet error rate, try to
slightly increase your Fragmentation Threshold. The
value should remain at its default setting of 2346.
Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may
result in poor performance.
RTS Threshold Request to Send, when set in bytes, specifies the
packet size beyond which the WLAN Card invokes its
RTS/CTS mechanism. Packets that exceed the
specified RTS threshold trigger the RTS/CTS
mechanism. The NIC transmits smaller packet
without using RTS/CTS.
The default setting of 2347 (maximum length) disables
RTS Threshold.
