Configuring the Xirrus Array
4.
Channel Configuration
: Click on the
Auto Configure
button to instruct
the Array to determine the best channel allocation settings for each
802.11a radio and select the channel automatically, based on changes in
the environment. This is the recommended method for 802.11a channel
allocations.
5.
Set Cell Siz
e: The Cell Size may be set globally for all 802.11a IAPs to
Large, Medium, or Small using a drop down menu.
6.
Fragmentation Threshold
: This is the maximum size for directed data
packets
transmitted over the 802.11a radio. Larger frames fragment into
several packets, their maximum size defined by the value you enter here.
Smaller fragmentation numbers can help to “squeeze” packets through in
noisy environments. Enter the desired
Fragmentation Threshold
value in
this field, between 256 and 2346).
7.
RTS Threshold
: The RTS (Request To Send) Threshold specifies the
packet
size. Packets larger than the RTS threshold will use CTS/RTS prior
to transmitting the packet—useful for larger packets to help ensure the
success of their transmission. Enter a value between 1 and 2347.
