The advanced wireless settings for the system's VAP profiles allow customization of data
transmission settings. The administrator can tune the following parameters to improve network
communication performance if a poor connection occurs.
RTS Threshold: To control station access to the medium and to alleviate this effect of the
hidden terminal problem, the administrator can tune this RTS threshold value. A lower RTS
Threshold setting can be useful in areas where many client devices are associating with WAB-
3003 or in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect only WAB-3003 and not each
other.
Fragmentation Threshold: A unicast frame larger than this threshold will be fragmented
before transmission. If a significant number of collisions are occurring, the administrator can try
to set a smaller value of the threshold to see whether it helps. A smaller value results in smaller
packets but allows a larger number of packets in transmission. A lower Fragment Threshold
setting can be useful in areas where communication is poor or disturbed by a serious amount of
radio interference.
