Description
The packet size used to determine whether it should use the CSMA/CD (Carrier
Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) or the CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense
Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) mechanism for packet transmission.
This is the maximum packet size used for fragmentation. Packets larger than the
size programmed in this field will be fragmented. The Fragment Threshold value
must be larger than the RTS Threshold value.
Specifies the data beacon rate between 20 and 3000.
A long transmit preamble may provide a more reliable connection or slightly longer
range. A short transmit preamble gives better performance. Long is the default.
