Field
Description
Beacon Period
Only for
Operation Mode
=
1%%&&
or
1%%&& 6/!
with
Client Mode
1!8%
.
Enter the time in milliseconds between the sending of two
beacons.
This value is transmitted in Beacon and Probe Response
Frames.
Possible values are
to

.
The default value is
msec.
DTIM Period
Only for
Operation Mode
=
1%%&&
or
1%%&& 6/!
with
Client Mode
1!8%
.
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
to
.
The default value is
.
RTS Threshold
Select how the RTS/CTS mechanism is to be switched on/off.
If you choose
5&!
, you can specify in the input field
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
1/)&
or
1/)&
(default value).
Short Retry Limit
Enter the maximum number of attempts to send a frame with
length less than or equal to the value defined in
RTS
Threshold
. After this many failed attempts, the packet is dis-
carded.
