FIELD DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE
RTS
Threshold RTS(Request To Send) threshold (number of bytes) enables RTS/CTS
handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the
RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU
(MAC Service Data Unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this
attribute to zero turns on the RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a value between 0 and
2432. 2432
Frag.
Threshold The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed
messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a value
between 256 and 2432. 2432
WEP WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) provides data encryption to prevent wireless
stations from accessing data transmitted over the wireless network.
Select
Disable allows wireless stations to communicate with the access points
