The beacon signals allow wireless clients to maintain contact with the
access point. They may also carry power-management information.

dtim-period
This command configures the rate at which stations in sleep mode must
wake up to receive broadcast/multicast transmissions.

◆
The Delivery Traffic Indication Map (DTIM) packet interval value
indicates how often the MAC layer forwards broadcast/multicast traffic.
This parameter is necessary to wake up stations that are using Power
Save mode.
◆
The DTIM is the interval between two synchronous frames with
broadcast/multicast information. The default value of 2 indicates that
the access point will save all broadcast/multicast frames for the Basic
Service Set (BSS) and forward them after every second beacon.
