node wants to transmit is larger than the threshold, the RTS/CTS handshake gets
triggered. If the packet size is equal to or less than threshold the data frame gets sent
immediately.
System uses Request to Send/Clear to send frames for the handshake that provide
collision reduction for an access point with hidden stations. The stations are sending a
RTS frame first while data is sent only after a handshake with an AP is completed.
Stations respond with the CTS frame to the RTS, which provide clear media for the
requesting station to send the data. CTS collision control management has a time
interval defined during which all the other stations hold off the transmission and wait
until the requesting station will finish transmission.
TX Power:
display the data transmission rate power.
Short Preamble:
this option is to define the length of the sync field in an 802.11 packet.
Most modern wireless network uses shot preamble with 56 bit sync filed. By default, it is
disabled.
Short Slot:
by default, this is enabled.
Tx Burst:
enable this function will make it easy for you to enhance the performance in data
transmission.
Pkt_Aggregate:
by default, this is disabled.
20/40 BSS:
by default, it is enabled. Support 20/40 at the same time.
IGMP Snooping:
if you enable this function, multicast traffic will be forwarded to ports that
have members of that group. Disabling IGMP snooping will make multicast traffic treated in
the same manner as broadcast traffic.
Bandwidth:
by default, it is 1.
WMM Capable:
by default, it is disabled.
WMM
is an abbreviation of Wi-Fi Multimedia. It defines the priority levels for four access
categories derived from 802.1d (prioritization tabs). The categories are designed with
specific types of traffic, voice, video, best effort and low priority data.
APSD Capable:
it is disabled by default.
