Description
Fragment Threshold
The maximum data fragment size that can be
sent in the wireless network before the
CellPipe 7130 RG will fragment the packet
into smaller data frames.
RTS Threshold
RTS is designed to prevent collisions due to
a hidden node. An RTS threshold defines the
biggest data frame size you can send before
an RTS handshake occurs. The RTS
Threshold value is between 0 and 2347.
If the
RTS Threshold
value is greater than
the
Fragment Threshold
value, then the
RTS handshake will never occur as the data
frames will be fragmented before they reach
RTS size.
