Chapter 5 - Command Line Interface
Example
5.18.15 rts-threshold
This command sets the packet size threshold at which a Request to Send (RTS)
signal must be sent to the receiving station prior to the sending station starting
communications.
Syntax
rts-threshold <threshold>
threshold - Threshold packet size for which to send an RTS. (Range: 0-2347 bytes)
Default Setting
2347
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Wireless)
Command Usage
• If the threshold is set to 0, the AP always sends RTS signals. If set to 2347, the AP never sends
RTS signals. If set to any other value, and the packet size equals or exceeds the RTS threshold,
the RTS/CTS (Request to Send / Clear to Send) mechanism will be enabled.
• The AP sends RTS frames to a receiving station to negotiate the sending of a data frame. After
receiving an RTS frame, the station sends a CTS frame to notify the sending station that it can
start sending data.
• APs contending for the wireless medium may not be aware of each other. The RTS/CTS
mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node” problem.
Example
5.18.16 super-g
