Edit Parameters
B-10
• 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 sta-
tus 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 cli-
ent device when associated within a given Basic Ser-
vice 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.
• Supported Data Rates: This parameter specifies the
data rates that will be supported by a given radio device
in the BSS.
