 To configure advanced wireless settings:
1. Select Configuration > Wireless > Advanced > Wireless Settings.
2. Specify the settings as explained in the following table:
Setting Description
RTS Threshold (0–2347) Enter the Request to Send (RTS) threshold. The default setting is 2347.
If the packet size is equal to or less than the RTS threshold, the wireless
access point uses the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision
Detection (CSMA/CD) mechanism, and the data frame is transmitted
immediately after the silence period.
If the packet size is larger than the RTS threshold, the wireless access
point uses the CSMA with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) mechanism.
In this situation, the transmitting station sends an RTS packet to the
receiving station and waits for the receiving station to return a Clear to
Send (CTS) packet before sending the actual packet data.
Fragmentation Length (256–2346) Enter the maximum packet size that is used for the fragmentation of
data packets. Packets that are larger than the specified fragmentation
length are broken up into smaller packets before being transmitted. The
fragmentation length must be an even number. The default setting is
2346.
Beacon Interval (100–1000) Enter the interval between 100 ms and 1000 ms for each beacon
transmission, which allows the wireless access point to synchronize the
wireless network. The default setting is 100.
