RTS threshold

Use this field to define the RTS threshold. If the size of the RTS packets for transmission exceeds this value, the device uses the RTS/CTS protocol in order to prevent the increased probability of collisions and the associated "hidden station" phenomena. Further information about this phenomena can be found in the Reference Manual under the same keyword.

Since the RTS packets are generally very short and the use of RTS/CTS increases the overhead, using this method only pays off if you are using longer data packets where collisions are likely. This value has to be determined in a trial in the respective environment.
