CONFIGURATION DESCRIPTION
RTS Threshold The packet size that the wireless node uses to
determine if it should use the CSMA/CD
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 packet before
sending the actual packet data.
Default: 2346
Fragmentation Length This is the maximum packet size used for
fragmentation. Packets larger than the size
programmed in this field will be fragmented.
The Fragment Threshold value must be larger
than the RTS Threshold value.
Default: 2346
Preamble Type A long transmit preamble allows the receiver to
lock into the received bit patterns more easily. A
short transmit preamble provides better
performance.
Default: Long
