33
Default Value 2346
Input Parameters VAP Name (string like wifi0, wifi1, etc.)
Integer between 256 and 2346
Output Parameter None
Reset Required No.
Usage # iwconfig <vap_name> rts <payload_size>
Example The command below sets the RTS/CTS threshold to 1008 bytes:
# iwconfig wifi0 rts 1008
Set Transmit Power
Description This command is used to set the transmit power of the n-Link® Module
Note: If the value of transmit power set in the above command exceeds the
maximum allowable power supported by
the channel specified by the regulatory domain, then the minimum of the
two values shall be used
Default Value -
Input Parameters VAP Name (string like wifi0, wifi1, etc.)
Integer value in dBm
Output Parameter None
Reset Required No
Usage # iwconfig <vap_name> txpower <val_in_dBm>
Example # iwconfig wifi0 txpower 10
Note:
Txpower setting can be defined as the minimum value that can be picked
from the max regulatory power settings, from any user defined value and
also from the maximum values the radio can support.
So it is not guaranteed that the user defined value gets effected when these
settings is done.

5.2 Private (Driver-Specific) Commands for Access Point and Client Modes
The "iwpriv" command is used to set parameters specific to the OneBox-Mobile software. The table below lists the
usage of the "iwpriv" command for setting and getting parameters common for the Access Point and Client
modes.
