Extreme Networks Summit WM User Manual page 107

The BSS Info section is view only. After WM-AD configuration, the Basic Service Set (BSS) section
displays the MAC address on the Altitude AP for each WM-AD and the SSIDs of the WM-ADs to
which this radio has been assigned.
4 If applicable, click the 802.11b/g tab to modify the radio properties:
5 In the Base Settings section, do the following:
Radio Mode - Click one of the following radio options:
b - Click to select the 802.11b-only mode of the 802.11b/g radio. If selected, the AP will use
only 11b (CCK) rates with all associated clients. The AP will not transmit or receive 11g rates.
g - Click to select the 802.11g-only mode of the 802.11b/g radio. If selected, the AP will not
accept associations from 11b clients, but it will still use all CCK and OFDM 11g rates with its
associated clients. To disable CCK rates, use the Min/Max Basic Rate and Max Operation
Rate controls to select OFDM-only rates.
b/g - Click to enable both the 802.11g mode and the 802.11b mode of the 802.11b/g radio. If
selected, the AP will accept associations from all clients and use all available 11b and 11g
rates.
off - Click to disable the 802.11b/g radio.
DTIM Period - Type the desired DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) period - the number
of beacon intervals between two DTIM beacons. To ensure the best client power savings, use a
large number. For example, 5. Use a small number to minimize broadcast and multicast delay.
The default value is 5.
Beacon Period - Type the desired time, in milliseconds, between beacon transmissions. The
default value is 100 milliseconds.
RTS/CTS Threshold - Type the packet size threshold, in bytes, above which the packet will be
preceded by an RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) handshake. The default value is 2346,
which means all packets are sent without RTS/CTS. Reduce this value only if necessary.
