An RTS/CTS handshake shall be performed at the beginning of any frame exchange sequence where the MPDU is of type Data or Management, the MPDU has an individual address in the Address1 field, and the length of the MPDU is greater than this threshold. Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU size shall have the effect of turning off the RTS/CTS handshake for Data or Management type frames transmitted by this STA. Setting this attribute to zero shall have the effect of turning on the RTS/ CTS handshake for all frames of Data or Management type transmitted by this STA. The default value of this attribute shall be 2347. The maximum number of transmission attempts of a frame, the length of which is less than or equal to dot11RTSThreshold, that shall be made before a failure condition is indicated. The default value of this attribute shall be 7. The maximum number of transmission attempts of a frame, the length of which is greater than dot11RTSThreshold, that shall be made before a failure condition is indicated. The default value of this attribute shall be 4. The current maximum size, in octets, of the MPDU that may be delivered to the PHY. An MSDU shall be broken into fragments if its size exceeds the value of this attribute after adding MAC headers and trailers. An MSDU or MMPDU shall be fragmented when the resulting frame has an individual address in the Address1 field, and the length of the frame is larger than this threshold. [. . . ] Perform two separate surveys and save as two separate projects. You may need to select and deselect the "in use" box to get the 802. 11a and 802. 11b band selection to appear. · To select 802. 11a or 802. 11b band, go to the Site Survey device tab and select the device first. Click on the device description and you will see the band list in the lower right window. If the device use button is deselected, no signal strength is recorded. Client utilities (including zero config) should not be used with the Site Survey tool. [. . . ]
