collisions due to high network utilization, try setting the
fragment size to send smaller fragments. This will speed up
the retransmission of smaller frames. However, it is more
efficient to set the fragment size larger if very little or no
interference is present because it requires overhead to send
multiple frames.
Example
rts-threshold
This command sets the packet size threshold at which a Request
to Send (RTS) signal must be sent to the receiving station prior to
the sending station starting communications.
Syntax
rts-threshold <threshold>
threshold - Threshold packet size for which to send an RTS.
(Range: 0-2347 bytes)
Default Setting
2347
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Wireless)
Command Usage
• If the threshold is set to 0, the access point never sends
RTS signals. If set to 2347, the access point always 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 access point sends RTS frames to a receiving station
to negotiate the sending of a data frame. After receiving an
