Field Name
Description
DTIM Interval
Enter the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM or Beacon rate) countdown variable
used to indicate when the next window is available to client devices for listening to buf-
fered broadcast and multicast messages. Options are
1
-
255
. The default is
1
.
Beacon Interval
A beacon is a packet of information that is sent from a connected device to all other
devices where it announces its availability and readiness. A beacon interval is the period
of time (sent with the beacon) that the device waits before sending the beacon again.
Enter the time interval (in milliseconds) between beacon transmissions. Options are
1
-
65535
ms. The default is
100
ms, which is recommended.
Global Max Clients
Enter the maximum number of clients that can assess this wireless network at one time.
The maximum for 5 GHZ is 80; the maximum for 2.4 GHZ is 128. The default is
128
.
Note
: You must change this field before you can change the
Max Clients
on the Wireless
> Basic. page.
Xpress™ Technology
Select whether to enable Xpress Technology. This is a special accelerating technology
for IEEE802.11g. Options are
Enabled
and
Disabled
.
Transmit Power
Select the transmission power level. Options are
20%
-
100%
. The default is
100%
.
WMM (WiFi Multimedia)
Select whether to enable this technology. It allows multimedia services (audio, video
and voice packets) to get higher priority for transmission. Options are
Auto
,
Enabled
,
and
Disabled
. The default is
Enabled
.
Warning
: If you disable this option, all QoS queues and classifications defined for the
wireless network are also disabled.
WMM No Acknow-
ledgment
The acknowledge policy used at the MAC level. Enabling this option allows better
throughput but, in a noisy RF environment, higher -963error rates may result. The
default is
Disabled
, meaning that an acknowledgement packet is returned for every
packet received. This provides a more reliable transmission but increases traffic load,
which decreases performance. Disabling the acknowledgement can be useful for Voice,
for example, where speed of transmission is important and packet loss is tolerable to a
certain degree. Options are
Enabled
and
Disabled
. The default is
Disabled
.
WMM APSD
APSD (Automatic Power Save Delivery) is an automatic power saving feature. Enabling
ensures very low power consumption. WMM Power Save is an improvement to the
802.11e amendment, adding advanced power management functionality to WMM.
Options are
Enabled
and
Disabled
. The default is
Enabled
.
Band Steering
Select whether to detect if the client has the ability to use two bands. When enabled,
the less-congested 5GHz network is selected (by blocking the client's 2.4GHz network).
