Description
Amount of time between beacon transmissions. This tells the
client when to receive the beacon. A beacon is a guidance
signal sent by the access point to announce its presence to
other devices in the network.
How often the beacon contains a delivery traffic indication
message (DTIM). The DTIM identifies which clients have data
waiting to be delivered to them.
If the beacon period is set at the default value of 100, and the
data beacon rate is set at the default value of 1, the access
point will send a beacon containing a DTIM every 100
kilomicrosecond (1 kilomicrosecond equals 1,024 microsecond)
Minimum size of a packet in bytes that will trigger the RTS/CTS
mechanism.
This value extends from 1 to 2312 bytes.
Maximum size that a packet can reach without being
fragmented, represented in bytes.
This value extends from 256 to 2346 bytes, where a value of 0
indicates that all packets should be transmitted using RTS.
Drop-down list of a range of transmission power.
Disables the radio card automatically when the Ethernet link is
down.
NOTE
The values illustrated in the example are suggested values for
their respective parameters.
