Beacon Period Displays the time interval between beacon frame transmissions. Beacons contain rate and
capability information and are used to identify the access points in the area.
RTS
Threshold
Displays the Request to Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) handshaking performed for any data or
management packet containing a number of bytes greater than the threshold. If this value is larger
than the packet size (typically set by the fragmentation threshold), no handshaking will be
performed. A value of 0 will enable handshaking for all MPDUs (MAC Protocol Data Unit).
Fragmentation
Threshold
Displays the packet size value where numbers larger than this value will be fragmented into
multiple packets of the specified size or smaller.
Supported
Rates
Click these drop-down menus to select the allowable communication rates the Gateway will
attempt to use. The rates are also broadcast within the connection protocol as the rates supported
by the Gateway. Each Mode has a corresponding set of default Supported Rate values. These
default values may be changed as desired.
• N: not supported: This rate is not supported for transmit.
• Y: supported: This rate is supported.
• B: basic supported: This rate is supported. Only stations that support all of these basic
rates will associate with the Gateway.
