Command Usage
• Setting the slot time to short can increase data throughput on the
access point, but requires that all clients can support the short slot
time.
• Set the slot time to long if the access point has to support 802.11b
clients.
If the slot time is set to short and the radio mode (working mode)
•
changed to b-only, the slot time is automatically set to auto.
