Command Usage
◆
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 1 indicates that the access point will
save all broadcast/multicast frames for the Basic Service Set (BSS) and forward
them after every beacon.
◆
Using smaller DTIM intervals delivers broadcast/multicast frames in a more
timely manner, causing stations in Power Save mode to wake up more often
and drain power faster. Using higher DTIM values reduces the power used by
stations in Power Save mode, but delays the transmission of broadcast/
multicast frames.
