Examples:
DWS-1008# set radio-profile rp_long preamble-length long
success: change accepted.
set radio-profile rts-threshold
Changes the RTS threshold for the DWL-8220AP radios in a radio profile. The RTS threshold
specifies the maximum length a frame can be before the radio uses the RTS/CTS method to
send the frame. The RTS/CTS method clears the air of other traffic to avoid corruption of the
frame due to a collision with another frame.

Advertises support for long preambles.
Advertises support for short preambles.
The default is short.

Changing the preamble length value affects only the support advertised by
the radio. Regardless of the preamble length setting (short or long), an
802.11b/g radio accepts and can generate 802.11b/g frames with either short
or long preambles.
If a client associated with an 802.11b/g radio uses long preambles for unicast
traffic, the DWL-8220AP access point still accepts frames with short preambles
but does not transmit frames with short preambles. This change also occurs if
the access point overhears a beacon from an 802.11b/g radio on another
access point that indicates the radio has clients that require long preambles.
You must disable all radios that use a radio profile before you can change
parameters in the profile. Use the set radio-profile mode command.
The following command configures 802.11b/g radios that use the radio profile
rp_long to advertise support for long preambles instead of short preambles:
set radio-profile name rts-threshold threshold
Radio profile name.
Maximum frame length, in bytes. You can enter a value from 256 through
3000.
The default RTS threshold for an DWL-8220AP radio is 2346 bytes.
