The Advanced tab provides additional performance information.
CW Min/Max - Select the contention window size. The contention window
backoff algorithm is a well known method used to resolve contention between
different stations wanting to access the medium. More information on the
considerations for setting this parameter can be found in the DS.11 FAQ in
Appendix B.
RTS Threshold - Enter the minimum packet size to require an RTS (Request to
Send) before the data packet is sent. For packets with a size below the RTS
Threshold value, an RTS is not sent and the data packet is transmitted directly to
the WLAN.
Short Retry Limit - This attribute indicates the maximum number of transmission
attempts of a frame, the length of which is less than or equal to RTS Threshold, that
shall be made before a failure condition is indicated. The default value is 7.
Long Retry Limit - This attribute indicates the maximum number of transmission
attempts of a frame, the length of which is greater than RTS Threshold, that shall
be made before a failure condition is indicated. The default value is 4.
Basic Rate - Enter the data rate at which broadcast, multicast and control packets
are transmitted. The default value is 2 Mbps.
