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.
