3. The Advanced Wireless Settings screen you selected displays, as shown in Figure 5-2.,
4. Enter the appropriate information in the fields described below:
• RTS Threshold (0 - 2347): Request to Send Threshold. The packet size that is used to
determine if it should use the CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision
Detection) mechanism or the CSMA/CA mechanism for packet transmission. With the
CSMA/CD transmission mechanism, the transmitting station sends out the actual packet
as soon as it has waited for the silence period. With the CSMA/CA transmission
mechanism, the transmitting station sends out an RTS packet to the receiving station, and
waits for the receiving station to send back a CTS (Clear to Send) packet before sending
the actual packet data. The default is 2347.
