SETTINGS
Fragmentation This is the packet length used for fragmentation. Packets larger than the
Threshold size programmed in this field will be fragmented. The Fragment Threshold
value must be larger than the RTS Threshold value.
Default: 2346
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: 2342
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
