FIELD DESCRIPTION
Transmit Threshold Control
Fragmentation
Threshold
The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed
messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent.
Move the slider to set the fragmentation threshold.
RTS/CTS Threshold Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS handshake.
Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC service data unit)
size turns off the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to zero turns on the
RTS/CTS handshake.
Move the slider to set the RTS/CTS threshold.
