Advanced
The advanced feature allows you to change advanced configuration settings: Fragmen-
tation Threshold, RTS Threshold and 802.11 Power Save.
Changing the Fragmentation Threshold/RTS Threshold
By default, the Fragmentation Threshold and RTS Threshold are disabled. To change the
Fragmentation Threshold/RTS Threshold parameters, move the slide bar with your
mouse, or click on the slide bar and then use the right and left arrow keys of your key-
board to select an exact number.
Fragmentation Threshold The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes,
determines whether packets will be fragmented and at
what size. On an IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN, packets
exceeding the fragmentation threshold are fragmented, i.e.
split into, smaller units suitable for the circuit size. Packets
smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold value
are not fragmented.
RTS Threshold When set (in bytes), it specifies the packet size beyond
which the Gigaset USB Adapter 11 invokes its RTS/CTS
mechanism. Packets that exceed the specified RTS threshold
trigger the RTS/CTS mechanism. The NIC transmits smaller
packets without using RTS/CTS.
802.11 Power Save For uninterrupted data communication, you may leave this
option blank to disable the power saving feature. To enable
the power saving feature for your Gigaset USB Adapter 11,
please check this box.
