7. RTS Threshold Sets the packet size threshold at which a Request to Send RTS signal must be sent to a receiving station prior to the sending station starting communications The access point sends RTS frames to a receiving station to negotiate the sending of a data frame After receiving an RTS frame the station sends a CTS clear to send frame to notify the sending station that it can start sending data If the RTS threshold is set to 0 the access point always sends RTS Signals If set to 2347 the access point never sends RTS signals If set to any other value and the packet size equals or exceeds the RTS 68 CHAPTER 7 Wireless Configuration Advanced Settings threshold the RTS CTS Request to Send Clear to Send mechanism will be enabled The access points contending for the medium may not be aware of each other The RTS CTS mechanism can solve this Hidden Node Problem Range 1 2347 bytes Default 2347 bytes Short Preamble Sets the length of the signal preamble that is used at the start of a data transmission Use a short preamble 96 microseconds to increase data throughput when it is supported by all connected 802 11g clients Use a long preamble 192 microseconds to ensure all 802 11b clients can connect to the network Default Disabled Short Slot Sets the basic unit of time the access point uses for calculating waiting times before data is transmitted A short slot time 9 microseco
