Radio - 131
Mode
The
Mode
defines the
Physical Layer
(
PHY
) standard being used by the radio.
Select one of these modes:
• IEEE 802.11b
•
IEEE 802.11g
(the default). This mode allows both 802.11b and 802.11g cli-
ents to connect to the access point. To enable 802.11g clients only and
deny acces to 802.11b clients, select a
Basic
rate that is not supported by
802.11b, such as 6Mbps. Basic rate options appear at the bottom of the
Radio tab.
Super G
Enabling Super G provides better performance by increasing radio throughput
for a radio mode. Keep in mind that with Super G enabled the access point
transmissions will consume more bandwidth.
• To enable Super G click
Enabled
.
• To disable Super G click
Disabled
.
Channel
The
Channel
defines the portion of the radio spectrum that the radio uses for
transmitting and receiving. The range of channels and the default channel are
determined by the Mode of the radio interface.
For most Modes, the default is
Auto
. Auto is the recommended mode because
it automatically detects the best channel choices based on signal strength, traf-
fic loads, and so on.
Beacon Interval
The
Beacon Interval
value is set in milliseconds. Enter a value within the range
20–2000.
Beacon frames are transmitted by an access point at regular intervals to
announce the existence of the wireless network. The default behaviour is to
send a beacon frame once every 100 milliseconds (or 10 per second).
DTIM Period
Specify a DTIM period within the range 1–255.
The
Delivery Traffic Information Map
(
DTIM
) message is an element included
in some
Beacon
frames. It indicates which clients, currently sleeping in low-
power mode, have data buffered on the access point awaiting pickup.
The DTIM period you specify here indicates how often the clients served by
this access point will check for buffered data still on the access point awaiting
pickup.
The measurement is the count of beacons. For example, if you set the DTIM
period to 1, clients will check for buffered data on the access point at every
beacon. If you set this to 10, clients will check at every 10th beacon.
