Fields in the Advanced Settings menu
Field
Description
Beacon Period
Enter the time in milliseconds between the sending of two
beacons.
This value is transmitted in Beacon and Probe Response
Frames.
Possible values are
1
to
65535
.
The default value is
100
msec.
DTIM Period
Enter the interval for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message
(DTIM).
The DTIM field is a data field in transmitted beacons that in-
forms clients about the window to the next broadcast or multic-
ast transmission. If clients operate in power save mode, they
come alive at the right time and receive the data.
Possible values are
1
to
255
.
The default value is
2
.
RTS Threshold
Select how the RTS/CTS mechanism is to be switched on/off.
If you choose
User Defined
, in the input field you can specify
the data packet length threshold in bytes (1..2346) as of which
the RTS/CTS mechanism is to be used. This makes sense if
several clients that are not in each other's wireless range are
run in one access point. The mechanism can also be switched
on/off independently of the data packet length by selecting the
value
Always on
or
Always off
(default value).
Short Retry Limit
Enter the maximum number of attempts to send a frame of
length less than or equal to the value defined in RTS
Threshold. After this many failed attempts, the packet is dis-
carded.
Possible values are
1
to
255
.
The default value is
7
.
Long Retry Limit
Enter the maximum number of attempts to send a data packet
of length less than or equal to the value defined in RTS
