Configuring DWL-8220AP Access Points
When a frame is long enough for the RTS/CTS method to be applicable, the radio sends
a Request-To-Send (RTS) message addressed to the intended receiver for the frame. The
receiver replies with a Clear-To-Send (CTS) message. When the radio receives the CTS
message, the radio transmits the frame and waits for an acknowledgment from the receiver.
The radio does not transmit additional frames until receiving the acknowledgment.
Any other user station that overhears the RTS or CTS message stops transmitting until the
station overhears the acknowledgment message. To change the RTS threshold, use the
following command:
set radio-profile
name
rts-threshold
threshold
The threshold can be a value from 256 bytes through 3000 bytes. The default is 2346. To
change the RTS threshold for radio profile
rp1
to 1500 bytes, type the following command:
DWS-1008#
set radio-profile rp1 rts-threshold 1500
success: change accepted.
Changing the Fragmentation Threshold
The fragmentation threshold specifies the longest a frame can be without being fragmented
into multiple frames by a radio before transmission. To change the fragmentation threshold,
use the following command:
set radio-profile
name
frag-threshold
threshold
The threshold can be a value from 256 through 2346. The default is 2346. To change the
fragmentation threshold for radio profile
rp1
to 1500 bytes, type the following command:
DWS-1008#
set radio-profile rp1 frag-threshold 1500
success: change accepted.
Changing the Short Retry Threshold
The short retry threshold specifies the number of times a radio can send a short unicast
frame without receiving an acknowledgment for the frame. A short unicast frame is a frame
that is
shorter
than the RTS threshold.
To change the short retry threshold, use the following command:
set radio-profile
name
short-retry
threshold
The threshold can be a value from 1 through 15. The default is 5. To change the short retry
threshold for radio profile
rp1
to 3, type the following command:
DWS-1008#
set radio-profile rp1 short-retry 3
success: change accepted.
