Field Description
Fragmentation Threshold
Fragmentation Threshold. Specifies the maximum size for a
packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you
experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase
the Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation
Threshold too low may result in poor network performance. Only
minor reduction of the default value is recommended.
In most cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346.
RTS Threshold
RTS Threshold. Determines at what packet size beyond which
the ready to send/clear to send (RTS/CTS) mechanism is
invoked.
If you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reduction of
the default value, 2346, is recommended. If a network packet is
smaller than the preset RTS Threshold size, the RTS/CTS
mechanism will not be enabled.
The device sends Ready to Send (RTS) frames to a particular
receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame.
After receiving a RTS, the wireless station responds with a
Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin
transmission. The RTS Threshold value should remain at its
default value of 2347.
