Field
Description
RTS Threshold
Select how the RTS/CTS mechanism is to be switched on/off.
If you choose
5&!
, in the input field you can specify
the data packet length threshold in bytes (1..2346) as of which
the RTS/CTS mechanism is to be used. This makes sense if
several clients that are not in each other's wireless range are
run in one access point. The mechanism can also be switched
on/off independently of the data packet length by selecting the
value
1/)&
or
1/)&
(default value).
Short Retry Limit
Enter the maximum number of attempts to send a frame with
length less than or equal to the value defined in
RTS
Threshold
. After this many failed attempts, the packet is dis-
carded.
Possible values are
to
.
The default value is
.
.
Long Retry Limit
Enter the maximum number of send attempts for a data packet
that is longer than the value defined in
RTS Threshold
After
this many failed attempts, the packet is discarded.
Possible values are
to
.
The default value is
.
Fragmentation
Threshold
Enter the maximum size as of which the data packets are to be
fragmented (i.e. split into smaller units). A low value is recom-
mended for this field in areas with poor reception and in the
event of radio interference.
Possible values are
to
'
.
The default value is
'
bytes.
ED Threshold
Define the Energy Detection threshold for CCA (Clear Channel
Assessment).
Possible values are
!.'
to
.'.
.
The default value is
.
CW Min.
Define the maximum size of the contention window.
