Configuring Advanced Wireless Settings
The Wireless Settings screen are used to configure and enable various wireless LAN
parameters for 11b/g/n mode. The default wireless LAN parameters usually work well.
However, you can use these settings to fine-tune the overall performance of your product
family for your environment.
To configure advanced wireless settings:
1.
Select
Configuration >
Wireless >
Advanced >
Wireless Settings
. The Wireless
Settings screen displays, as shown in
Figure 3.
2.
Enter the appropriate information in the following fields:
•
RTS Threshold (0 - 2347)
. Request to Send Threshold. The packet size that is used
to determine if it should use the CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with
Collision Detection) mechanism or the CSMA/CA mechanism for packet
transmission. With the CSMA/CD transmission mechanism, the transmitting station
sends out the actual packet as soon as it has waited for the silence period. With the
CSMA/CA transmission mechanism, the transmitting station sends out an RTS
packet to the receiving station, and waits for the receiving station to send back a CTS
(Clear to Send) packet before sending the actual packet data. The default is 2347.
