end

Supported on: Wi² AP
end
Switches to parent context.

radio active

Supported on: Wi² AP
radio active
Enables the radio.
no radio active
Disables the radio.

rts threshold

Supported on: Wi² AP
rts threshold <value>
Sets the RTS threshold.
no rts threshold
Deletes the RTS threshold value.
Parameters
< value>
Description
Use this parameter to control collisions on the link that can reduce
throughput. If the Status Wireless page on the management tool shows
increasing values for Tx multiple retry frames or Tx single retry frames, you
should adjust this value until the errors clear up. Start with a value of 1024
and then decrease to 512 until errors are reduced or eliminated.
Using a small value for RTS threshold can affect throughput.
If a packet is larger than the threshold, the Wi² AP will hold it and issue a
request to send (RTS) message to the client station. Only when the client
station replies with a clear to send (CTS) message will the Wi² AP send the
packet. Packets smaller than the threshold are transmitted without this
handshake.
