which the wireless stations associate. Wireless stations associating to
the Access Point must have the same ESSID. Enter a descriptive name
(up to 32 characters) for the wireless LAN.

RTS
Threshold

(Request To Send) The threshold (number of bytes) for enabling
RTS/CTS handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will
perform the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to be larger than
the maximum MSDU (MAC service data unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS
handshake. Setting this attribute to zero turns on the RTS/CTS
handshake. Enter a value between 0 and 2432.
