Usage Guidelines

before a frame will be discarded when a station attempts to retransmit a frame. Short retry applies to
frames shorter than the RTS threshold and it is set to 4 by default. A frame requiring RTS/CTS clearing
is retransmitted four times before being discarded.
To specify a the number of transmission attempts of a frame larger than the RTS threshold, use the
following command:
configure rf-profile <name> long-retry <value>
Examples
The following command sets the transmission attempts to 3:
configure rf-profile rfprof1 short-retry 3
