Planet Technology WL-U356M Network Card User Manual


 
30
When the wireless mode is “802.11 b”, the maximum data rate is
11Mbps(11b) so that there are only “Auto/1/2/5.5/11Mbps” options
you can select.
Fragment Threshold
The value defines the maximum size of packets; any packet size
larger that the value will be fragmented. If you have decreased this
value and experience high packet error rates, you can increase it
again, but it will likely decrease overall network performance. Select
a setting within a range of 256 to 2346 bytes. Minor change is
recommended.
RTS / CTS Threshold
RTS / CTS(Request To Send / Clear To Send) is the mechanism
used by the 802.11 wireless networking protocol to reduce frame
collisions introduced by the hidden terminal problem and exposed
node problem.
RTS / CTS packet size threshold is 0 ~ 2347. Typically, sending RTS
frames is turned off by default (threshold 2347). If the packet size
the node wants to transmit is larger than the threshold, the RTS /
CTS handshake gets triggered. If the packet size is equal to or less
than threshold the data frame gets sent immediately
Regulatory Domains
The available channel differs form different countries. The operating
frequency channel will be restricted to the country user located
before importing. If you are in different country, you have to adjust
the channel setting to comply the regulation of the country.
