Load Balancing; The Ap Mode Tab; Mac Address - Cisco WAP4410N User Manual

• DTIM Interval—This value indicates how often the Access Point sends out a Delivery
Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). Lower settings result in more efficient networking,
while preventing your PC from dropping into power-saving sleep mode. Higher settings
allow your PC to enter sleep mode, thus saving power, but interferes with wireless
transmissions. The default is 1 ms.
• RTS Threshold—This setting determines how large a packet can be before the Access
Point coordinates transmission and reception to ensure efficient communication. This
value should remain at its default setting of 2347. If you encounter inconsistent data
flow, only minor modifications are recommended.
• Fragmentation Threshold—Enter the preferred setting between 256 and 2346.
Normally, this can be left at the default value.

Load Balancing

• Load Balancing—If Enabled, this feature can spread work between two or more
devices to get optimal resource utilization, throughput, or response time.
• Utilization Threshold—Enter the desired utilization value for the SSID.
• Current Utilization—This displays the current value of the utilization.
Change these settings as described here and click Save Settings to apply your changes, or click
