Specified Access Point
This parameter is the MAC address of the preferred Access Point
you want to associate with. It is important to note that if you
specify the Access Point, you MAY associate to another Access
Point if the Specified Access Point is not found. If you roam out
of range, you will probably associate with another Access Point.
Setting a Specified Access Point will slow down the roaming
process. Thus, for normal operation for the majority of users,
leave this field blank.
RTS Threshold
This parameter controls what size data packet the low level RF
protocol issues to an RTS packet. There are several trade-offs to
consider when setting this parameter. Setting this parameter to a
small value causes RTS packets to be sent more often, consuming
more of the available bandwidth, therefore reducing the apparent
throughput of other network packets. However, the more often
RTS packets are sent, the quicker the system can recover from
interference or collisions. Refer to the IEEE 802.11 Standard for
more information on the RTS/CTS mechanism.
RTS Retry Limit
This parameter controls the number of times the PC3500 will re-
send the RTS packet if it does not receive a CTS from the
previously sent RTS packet. Setting this to a large value will
decrease the available bandwidth whenever interference is
encountered, but will make the system more immune to
interference and collisions. Refer to the IEEE 802.11 Standard
for more information on the RTS/CTS mechanism.
