Access Point Commands
name Radio profile name.
long Advertises support for long preambles.
short Advertises support for short preambles.
Defaults: The default is short.
Access: Enabled
Usage: Changing the preamble length value affects only the support advertised by
the radio. Regardless of the preamble length setting (short or long), an
802.11b/g radio accepts and can generate 802.11b/g frames with either short
or long preambles.
If a client associated with an 802.11b/g radio uses long preambles for unicast
traffic, the DWL-8220AP access point still accepts frames with short preambles
but does not transmit frames with short preambles. This change also occurs if
the access point overhears a beacon from an 802.11b/g radio on another
access point that indicates the radio has clients that require long preambles.
You must disable all radios that use a radio profile before you can change
parameters in the profile. Use the set radio-profile mode command.
Examples: The following command configures 802.11b/g radios that use the radio profile
rp_long to advertise support for long preambles instead of short preambles:
DWS-1008# set radio-profile rp_long preamble-length long
success: change accepted.
set radio-profile rts-threshold
Changes the RTS threshold for the DWL-8220AP radios in a radio profile. The RTS threshold
specifies the maximum length a frame can be before the radio uses the RTS/CTS method to
send the frame. The RTS/CTS method clears the air of other traffic to avoid corruption of the
frame due to a collision with another frame.
Syntax: set radio-profile name rts-threshold threshold
name Radio profile name.
threshold Maximum frame length, in bytes. You can enter a value from 256 through
3000.
Defaults: The default RTS threshold for an DWL-8220AP radio is 2346 bytes.
Access: Enabled
