Advanced
Further possible settings
On this page, you can specify details of the transmission characteristics. You only need to
adapt the parameters on this page if the SCALANCE W1700 device cannot be used in the
intended way with the default settings.
Description
The table has the following columns:
● Radio
Shows the available WLAN interfaces in this column.
● Beacon Interval [ms] (only in access point mode)
Specify the interval (40 - 1000 ms) at which the access point sends beacons. Beacons are
packets that are sent cyclically by an access point to inform clients of its existence.
Note
Interval with more than 2 VAP interfaces
With more than 2 VAP interfaces, use an interval greater than or equal to 100 ms.
● DTIM (only in access point mode)
The DTIM interval (1-15) specifies the number of beacons to be sent before the access point
sends the collected packets (broadcast, unicast, multicast) to the client.
– If you enter a "1" in this box, the access point transmits broadcast, unicast and multicast
packets directly after each beacon (recommended setting for normal network
environments).
– If you entered a "5" in this field, this would mean that the access point collects the packets
and sends them after every fifth beacon.
Increasing this value allows a longer sleep mode for the clients but means a greater delay
for packets.
