Preamble
The preamble is approximately 8 bytes of packet header generated
by the
AP-5131 and attached to the packet prior to transmission
from the 802.11b radio. The preamble length for 802.11b
transmissions is data rate dependant. The short preamble is 50%
shorter than the long preamble. Leave the checkbox unselected if
in a mixed MU/AP environment, as MUs and the
AP-5131 are
required to have the same RF Preamble settings for interoperability.
The default is Disabled. The preamble length for 802.11a and
802.11g transmissions is the same, with no long or short preamble
lengths.
RTS Threshold RTS allows the
AP-5131 to use RTS (Request To Send) on frames
longer than the specified length. The default is 2341bytes.
