the same BSSID.

When in Infrastructure mode, this field defines the Extended Service Set ID (ESSID).

The ESSID assigned to the wireless node is required to match the access point

ESSID for the wireless node to communicate with the access point.

Transmit Rate Allows you to define the data transfer rate. The default value is Fully Automatic. In this

case, the best transfer rate is negotiated between the wireless node and the device it

is communicating with. This could be another wireless node or an access point. Other

possible values for this field are 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, and 11 Mbps.

Channel Only valid in 802.11 Ad-hoc mode, this field defines which wireless channel to use. In

Infrastructure mode, the wireless node automatically searches through all available

wireless channels for an access point to be associated with. It is not necessary to

select the wireless channel when operating in Infrastructure mode.

Preamble Type Sets the number of preamble bits sent out by this wireless node before the actual data

bits. The Long type is set for 144 bits. The Short type is set for 72 bits.

Fragmentation

Threshold

The packet length used for fragmentation. Packets larger than the size programmed in

this field will be fragmented. The Fragment Threshold value must be larger than RTS

Threshold value. The default value for Fragment Threshold is 2432.

RTS/CTS

Threshold

The packet size the wireless node uses to determine if it should use the CSMA/CD

mechanism or the CSMA/CA mechanism for packet transmission. With the CSMA/CD

transmission mechanism, the transmitting station sends out the actual packet as soon

as it has waited for the silence period. With the CSMA/CA transmission mechanism,

the transmitting station sends out a RTS packet to the receiving station and waits for

the receiving station to send back a CTS packet before sending the actual

packet data.
