4. Refer to the
Beacon Settings
Beacon Interval
DTIM Interval
field to set the radio beacon and DTIM intervals.
The beacon interval controls the performance of power save
stations. A small interval may make power save stations more
responsive, but it will also cause them to consume more battery
power. A large interval makes power save stations less responsive,
but could increase power savings.
The default is 100. Avoid changing this parameter as it can
adversely affect performance.
The DTIM interval defines how often broadcast frames are
delivered for each of the four access point BSSIDs. If a system has
an abundance of broadcast traffic and it needs to be delivered
quickly, Symbol recommends decreasing the DTIM interval for that
specific BSSID. However, decreasing the DTIM interval decreases
the battery life on power save stations. The default is 10 for each
BSSID. Symbol recommends using the default value unless
qualified to understand the performance risks of changing it.
