no rts threshold
Deletes the RTS threshold value.
Parameters
< value>
Description
Use this parameter to control collisions on the link that can reduce throughput. If the Status >
Wireless page on the management tool shows increasing values for Tx multiple retry frames or Tx
single retry frames, you should adjust this value until the errors clear up. Start with a value of 1024
and then decrease to 512 until errors are reduced or eliminated.
Using a small value for RTS threshold can affect throughput.
If a packet is larger than the threshold, the AP will hold it and issue a request to send (RTS)
message to the client station. Only when the client station replies with a clear to send (CTS)
message will the AP send the packet. Packets smaller than the threshold are transmitted without
this handshake.
distance
Supported on: MSM422 MSM320 MSM410 MSM310 MSM335
distance (small | medium | large)
Sets the distance between access points.
2-54
Threshold value in the range 128 and 1540.
