4. Enter the appropriate information in the fields described below:
• 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.
• Fragmentation Length (256 - 2346). This is the maximum packet size used for
fragmentation. Packets larger than the size programmed in this field will be
fragmented. The fragmentation threshold value must be larger than the RTS
Threshold value. The default is 2346.
• Beacon Interval (100 - 1000). The Beacon Interval. Specifies the interval time
between 100ms and 1000ms for each beacon transmission, which allows the access
point to synchronize the wireless network. The default is 100.
• Aggregation Length (1024-65535) (11na only). The aggregation length defines the
size of aggregated packets. Larger aggregation lengths may sometimes lead to better
network performance. The default is 65535.
• A-MPDU (11na only). Aggregated MAC Protocol Data Unit. Aggregates several MAC
frames into a single large frame to achieve higher throughput. The default is enabled.
• RIFS Transmission (11na only). Reduced Interframe Space. RIFS transmissions
are shorter than other interframe spaces, and if enabled allow transmission of
successive frames at different transmit powers. The default is disabled. The default is
disabled.
