Changing the short retry threshold

The short retry threshold specifies the number of times a radio can send a short unicast frame for an SSID
without receiving an acknowledgment for the frame. A short unicast frame is a frame that is shorter than the
RTS threshold.
To change the short retry threshold, use the following command:
set service-profile name short-retry threshold
The threshold can be a value from 1 through 15. The default is 5.
To change the short retry threshold for service profile sp1 to 3, type the following command:
WSS# set service-profile sp1 short-retry 3
success: change accepted.

Changing the long retry threshold

The long retry threshold specifies the number of times a radio can send a long unicast frame for an SSID
without receiving an acknowledgment for the frame. A long unicast frame is a frame that is equal to or longer
than the RTS threshold.
To change the long retry threshold, use the following command:
set service-profile name long-retry threshold
The threshold can be a value from 1 through 15. The default is 5.
To change the long retry threshold for service profile sp1 to 8, type the following command:
WSS# set service-profile sp1 long-retry 8
success: change accepted.

Configuring a radio profile

A radio profile is a set of parameters that apply to multiple radios. You can easily assign configuration param-
eters to many radios by configuring a profile and assigning the profile to the radios.
To configure a radio profile:
• Create a new profile.
• Change radio parameters.
• Map the radio profile to one or more service profiles.
(For a list of the parameters controlled by radio profiles and their defaults, see
The channel number, transmit power, and external antenna type are unique to each radio and are not controlled
by radio profiles. (To configure these parameters, see
