Description
Enter the Request to Send (RTS) threshold. The default setting is
2347.
If the packet size is equal to or less than the RTS threshold, the
wireless access point uses the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with
Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) mechanism, and the data frame is
transmitted immediately after the silence period.
If the packet size is larger than the RTS threshold, the wireless access
point uses the CSMA with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA)
mechanism. In this situation, the transmitting station sends an RTS
packet to the receiving station and waits for the receiving station to
return a Clear to Send (CTS) packet before sending the actual packet
data.
data packets. Packets that are larger than the specified fragmentation
length are broken up into smaller packets before being transmitted.
The fragmentation length needs to be an even number. The default
setting is 2346.
