ZoomAir USB Client Installation Guide & Reference Manual
Note:
There is an implicit tradeoff when enabling RTS
Threshold. It could cause redundant network overhead
that could negatively affect throughput, instead of
providing a remedy.
Be sure to also specify the packet size. The RTS
mechanism will be activated if the data size exceeds the
value you set.
Frag. Threshold—
Enabling
Fragmentation Threshold
improves
efficiency when high traffic is flowing along the wireless network.
If your USB Client often transmits large files and you enable Frag.
Threshold, the mechanism will split the packet. Value can be set
from 256 to 1500.
Status

Configuration
dialog box contains
information about the status of your wireless connection. The
following table defines this information.

this field shows the MAC address of the Access Point that the USB

AdHoc mode, it shows the virtual MAC address used by
computers participating in the AdHoc network.
Current Channel—

made.
