notify all other stations to defer transmission. It will also confirm with the requesting station that the AP has
reserved it for the time frame of the requested transmission.
The RTS function will be activated if the packet size exceeds the value you set. It is highly recommended
that you set the value ranging from 0 to 2432.
Enabling the RTS Threshold causes redundant network overhead that could
negatively affect the throughput performance instead of providing a remedy.
Fragmentation Threshold
Fragmentation improves the efficiency when high traffic flows along in the wireless network.
WEP
As the first line of protection against wireless network intrusion, the ZyAIR provides the standard WEP
(Wired Equivalent Privacy) for data encryption. However, there may be a significant degradation of the
data throughput on the wireless link when WEP is enabled. See section on Wireless Security Setup for more
information about configuring WEP data encryption.
