Configuring Wireless Networks
Chapter 10: Working with Wireless Networks 293
In this field… Do this…
RTS Threshold Type the smallest IP packet size for which a station must send an RTS
(Request To Send) before sending the IP packet.
If multiple wireless stations are in range of the access point, but not in range
of each other, they might send data to the access point simultaneously,
thereby causing data collisions and failures. RTS ensures that the channel
is clear before the each packet is sent.
If your network is congested, and the users are distant from one another,
set the RTS threshold to a low value (around 500).
Setting a value equal to the fragmentation threshold effectively disables
RTS.
The default value is 2346.
Extended Range
Mode (XR)
Specify whether to use Extended Range (XR) mode:
• Disabled. XR mode is disabled.
• Enabled. XR mode is enabled. XR will be automatically
negotiated with XR-enabled wireless stations and used as
needed. This is the default.
For more information on XR mode, see About the Wireless Hardware in
Your Wireless Appliance.
Multimedia QoS
(WMM)
Specify whether to use the Wireless Multimedia (WMM) standard to
prioritize traffic from WMM-compliant multimedia applications. This can
have the following values:
• Disabled. WMM is disabled. This is the default.
• Enabled. WMM is enabled. The Safe@Office appliance will
prioritize multimedia traffic according to four access categories
(Voice, Video, Best Effort, and Background). This allows for
smoother streaming of voice and video when using WMM aware
applications.
