Edit Parameters

B-11

RTS Retry Limit

This parameter controls the number of times the Wire-

less LAN Adapter will re-send the RTS packet if it does

not receive a CTS from the previously sent RTS packet.

Setting this to a large value will decrease the available

bandwidth whenever interference is encountered, but

will make the system more immune to interference and

collisions. Refer to the IEEE 802.11 Standard for more

information on the RTS/CTS mechanism.

Advanced (Ad Hoc/IBSS)

In Ad Hoc Mode, you can also modify the following

parameters:

• Channel

• Beacon Period

• Wake Duration

Channel

This parameter speciﬁes the channel identiﬁer the unit

will use if it must start its own network. For all other situ-

ations, the radio will scan for the proper frequency. See

Appendix C for channel identiﬁer parameters.
