Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM), also known
as Beacon Rate. The entry range is a value between 1
and 65535. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of
the next window for listening to broadcast and
multicast messages. When the AP has buffered
broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients,
it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. AP
Clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the
broadcast and multicast messages. The default is 1.
The amount of time between beacon transmissions.
Each beacon transmission identifies the presence of an
access point. By default, radio NICs passively scan all
RF channels and listen for beacons coming from access
points to find a suitable access point.
Before a station enters power save mode, the station
needs the beacon interval to know when to wake up to
receive the beacon (and learn whether there are
buffered frames at the access point).
The entered value is represented in ms. Default is 100.
Acceptable entry range is 1 to 0xffff (65535)
Xpress Technology is compliant with draft
specifications of two planned wireless industry
standards.
Select the mode to 54g Auto for
the widest compatibility. Select the mode to
54g Performance for the fastest performance
among 54g certified equipment. Set
the mode to 54g LRS if you are experiencing
difficulty with legacy 802.11b equipment.
In Auto mode the IAD will use
RTS/CTS to improve 802.11g performance in
mixed 802.11g/802.11b networks. Turn
protection off to maximize 802.11g throughput
under most conditions.
