Configuration Guide Configuring FAT APs
If there are no special requirementsIf there are no special requirements, you can perform this configuration in the
dot11radio interface configuration mode of the AP equipment.
Packets from upper layers or some large management frames must be fragmented before they can be transmitted on
wireless channels. Fragmented packets help to improve reliability when interference exists. By using frame fragments,
STAs may control interference to affect only small frame fragments rather than large frames. By reducing data that may
be interfered, frame fragments can improve the overall effective throughput. When interference exists, the smaller the
fragment threshold, the higher the anti-interference capability.
fragment-threshold threshold-value
threshold-value: indicates the fragment threshold, ranging from 256 to 2346 in the unit of byte.
The fragment threshold is 2346 bytes.
dot11radio interface configuration mode
The fragment threshold must be an even number.
Configuring the RTS Threshold
Optional.
If there are no special requirementsIf there are no special requirements, you can perform this configuration in the
dot11radio interface configuration mode of the AP equipment.
When co-frequency interference exists, the smaller the RTS threshold, the higher the anti-interference capability.
However, the more the RTS/CTS packets, the more channels occupied by control packets, and the less the channel
bandwidth available to STAs.
rts threshold threshold-value
threshold-value: indicates the RTS threshold, ranging from 257 to 2347 in the unit of byte.
The RTS threshold is 2347 bytes.

Configuring the Beacon Frame Period
Optional.
If there are no special requirementsIf there are no special requirements, you can perform this configuration in the
dot11radio interface configuration mode of the AP equipment.
The smaller the beacon frame period, the more frequent beacon frames are sent, and the faster STAs discover WLANs.
However, the more the beacon frames, namely, the more channels occupied by management frames, the less the
channel bandwidth available to STAs. The beacon frame period should not be too long; otherwise, STAs may frequently
go offline or perform detection.
