rts-threshold This command sets the packet size threshold at which a Request to Send (RTS)
signal must be sent to the receiving station prior to the sending station starting
communications.
Syntax
rts-threshold <threshold>
threshold - Threshold packet size for which to send an RTS.
(Range: 1-2346 bytes)
Default Setting
2346
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Wireless)
Command Usage
◆ If the threshold is set to 1, the access point always sends RTS signals. If set to
2346, the access point never sends RTS signals. If set to any other value, and the
packet size equals or exceeds the RTS threshold, the RTS/CTS (Request to Send /
Clear to Send) mechanism will be enabled.
◆ The access point sends RTS frames to a receiving station to negotiate the
sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS frame, the station sends a CTS
frame to notify the sending station that it can start sending data.
◆ Access points contending for the wireless medium may not be aware of each
other. The RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node” problem.
