The Advanced tab provides additional performance
parameters.
Figure 3-12: Advanced Tab
The Advanced tab is comprised of the following components:
♦ CW Min/Max: The size of the contention window. The
contention window back-off algorithm is a method used
to resolve contention between different stations trying to
access the medium. The valid range is from 7 to 1023.
Defaults are 31 for CW Min and 1023 for CW Max.
♦ RTS Threshold: The minimum packet size required for
an RTS (Request to Send) to be sent. For packets with a
size below the RTS Threshold value, an RTS is not sent
and the data packet is transmitted directly to the WLAN.
♦ Short Retry Limit: The maximum number of
transmission attempts for a frame that is shorter than or
equal to the RTS Threshold. The default value is 8.
