DESCRIPTION
In a wireless network which covers a large area, wireless devices are sometimes
not aware of each other's presence. This may cause them to send information to
the AP at the same time and result in information colliding and not getting through.
RTS/CTS is designed to prevent collisions due to hidden nodes. You should only
configure RTS/CTS if the possibility of hidden nodes exists on your network and
the "cost" of resending large frames is more than the extra network overhead
involved in the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake.
Enter a value between 256 and 2347. Data with a frame size larger than this value
will perform the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake. The
lower the value, the more often the devices must get permission.
If the RTS/CTS value is greater than the Fragment Threshold value, then the
RTS/CTS handshake will never occur as data frames will be fragmented before
they reach RTS/CTS size.
This is the maximum size of a data fragment that can be sent by the G-210H. Type
a value between 256 and 2346.
Click OK to save your settings on the G-210H.
Click Cancel to return the screen to its previously configured values.
