ZoomAir USB Client Installation Guide & Reference Manual

Note: There is an implicit tradeoff when enabling RTS

Threshold. It could cause redundant network overhead

that could negatively affect throughput, instead of

providing a remedy.

Be sure to also specify the packet size. The RTS

mechanism will be activated if the data size exceeds the
value you set.

Frag. Threshold—

Enabling Fragmentation Threshold improves

efficiency when high traffic is flowing along the wireless network.

If your USB Client often transmits large files and you enable Frag.

Threshold, the mechanism will split the packet. Value can be set

from 256 to 1500.

Status

The bottom half of the Configuration dialog box contains

information about the status of your wireless connection. The

following table defines this information.

State—

When the USB Client is operating in Infrastructure mode,

this field shows the MAC address of the Access Point that the USB

Client is communicating with. When the USB Client is operating in

AdHoc mode, it shows the virtual MAC address used by
computers participating in the AdHoc network.

Current Channel—

Shows the channel on which the connection is

made.

Current Tx Rate—

Shows the highest transmit rate of the current

association.
