DESCRIPTION
Intra-BSS Traffic
This describes direct communication (not through the NWA1121-NI) between two
wireless devices within a wireless network. You might disable this kind of
communication to enhance security within your wireless network.

communication to enhance security within your wireless network.
RTS/CTS Threshold
In a wireless network which covers a large area, wireless devices are sometimes not
aware of each other’s presence. This may cause them to send information to the AP
at the same time and result in information colliding and not getting through.
aware of each other’s presence. This may cause them to send information to the AP
at the same time and result in information colliding and not getting through.
By setting this value lower than the default value, the wireless devices must
sometimes get permission to send information to the NWA1121-NI. The lower the
value, the more often the devices must get permission.
sometimes get permission to send information to the NWA1121-NI. The lower the
value, the more often the devices must get permission.
If this value is greater than the fragmentation threshold value (see below), then
wireless devices never have to get permission to send information to the NWA1121-
NI.

Preamble
A preamble affects the timing in your wireless network. There are two preamble
modes: long and short.
modes: long and short.
If a device uses a different preamble mode than the
NWA1121-NI does, it cannot communicate with the NWA1121-NI.
Fragmentation
Threshold
Threshold
A small fragmentation threshold is recommended for busy networks, while a larger
threshold provides faster performance if the network is not very busy.
