ProSAFE Single Band 802.11n Wireless Access Point WN203 2. Specify the settings as described in the following table: Setting Description RTS Threshold (0-2347) Enter the Request to Send (RTS) threshold. The default setting is 2347. If the packet size is equal to or less than the RTS threshold, the wireless access point uses the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) mechanism, and the data frame is transmitted immediately after the silence period. If the packet size is larger than the RTS threshold, the wireless access point uses the CSMA with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) mechanism. In this situation, the transmitting station sends an RTS packet to the receiving station and waits for the receiving station to return a Clear to Send (CTS) packet before sending the actual packet data. Fragmentation Length (256-2346) Enter the maximum packet size that is used for the fragmentation of data packets. Packets that are larger than the specified fragmentation length are broken up into smaller packets before being transmitted. The fragmentation length needs to be an even number. The default setting is 2346. Beacon Interval Enter the interval between 100 ms and 1000 ms for each beacon transmission, which allows the wireless access point to synchronize the wireless network. The default setting is 100. Advanced Configuration 71

2.
Specify the settings as described in the following table:
Setting
Description
RTS Threshold (0–2347)
Enter the Request to Send (RTS) threshold. The default setting is
2347.
If the packet size is equal to or less than the RTS threshold, the
wireless access point uses the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with
Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) mechanism, and the data frame is
transmitted immediately after the silence period.
If the packet size is larger than the RTS threshold, the wireless access
point uses the CSMA with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA)
mechanism. In this situation, the transmitting station sends an RTS
packet to the receiving station and waits for the receiving station to
return a Clear to Send (CTS) packet before sending the actual packet
data.
Fragmentation Length (256–2346)
Enter the maximum packet size that is used for the fragmentation of
data packets. Packets that are larger than the specified fragmentation
length are broken up into smaller packets before being transmitted.
The fragmentation length needs to be an even number. The default
setting is 2346.
Beacon Interval
Enter the interval between 100 ms and 1000 ms for each beacon
transmission, which allows the wireless access point to synchronize
the wireless network. The default setting is 100.
