RF Network Parameters
RF Network Parameters include:
• Fragment Threshold: This parameter defines a threshold
above which the RF packet will be split up or fragmented. If
a packet is fragmented or transmission of part of it is
interfered with, only the portion that was unsuccessful would
need to be re-sent. The throughput will generally be lower
for fragmented packets since the fixed packet overhead
consumes a higher portion of the RF bandwidth.
• Data Retries: This parameter defines the number of times a
packet will be re-sent if the initial transmission is
unsuccessful. If the network protocol automatically re-tries
itself, set this to a small value. A “bad” packet status will be
sent up the protocol stack more quickly so the application
can re-transmit the packet.
• Basic Data Rate: This parameter determines the data rate
used to transfer all management frames by the client device
when associated within a given Basic Service Set (BSS).
When operating in Infrastructure Mode, this parameter
should be set to correspond to the Access Point setting.
When operating in Ad Hoc Mode, all stations should have
the same setting. The allowable selections for this parameter
are: 1 Mbps or 2 Mbps.
• Supported Data Rates: This parameter specifies the data
rates that will be supported by a given radio device in the
BSS. The allowable selections are: 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, or 1 and
2 Mbps.
