Command Usage
• If the threshold is set to 0, the access point always sends RTS signals.
If set to 2347, the access point never sends RTS signals. If set to any
other value, and the packet size equals or exceeds the RTS threshold,
the RTS/CTS (Request to Send / Clear to Send) mechanism will be
enabled.
• The access point sends RTS frames to a receiving station to negotiate
the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS frame, the station
sends a CTS frame to notify the sending station that it can start
sending data.
• Access points contending for the wireless medium may not be aware
of each other. The RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node”
problem.
Example
tx-power-reduction
This command adjusts the power value of the radio signals transmitted from
the access point.
Syntax
trx-power-reduction <value>
• value - Set the value which is subtracted from the maximum signal
strength value, then the resulting value is the power value used by the
radio. This value is in dB.
