DTIM Period
Specify a period for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). This is a divisor of the
beacon interval (in milliseconds), for example, 10:100. (See "Beacon Interval" above). A DTIM
is periodically included in the beacon frame transmitted from adopted Access Ports. The
DTIM period determines how often the beacon contains a DTIM, for example, 1 DTIM for
every 10 beacons. The DTIM indicates that broadcast and multicast frames (buffered at the
Access Port) are soon to arrive. These are simple data frames that require no
acknowledgement, so nodes sometimes miss them. Increase the DTIM/beacon settings
(lengthening the time) to let nodes sleep longer and preserve their battery life. Decrease
these settings (shortening the time) to support streaming-multicast audio and video
applications that are jitter-sensitive. The default DTIM period is 2 beacons.
Self Healing Offset When an Access Port increases its power to compensate for a failed Access Port, power is
increased to the country's regulatory maximum. Set the Self Healing Offset to reduce the
country's regulatory maximum power if Access Ports are situated close to each other or if
Access Ports s use external antennas. For additional information on determining the offset
value, see the documentation shipped with the Access Port.

Configuring Rate Settings
Use the
Rate Settings
screen to define a set of basic and supported rates for the target radio. This allows the radio to
sync with networks using varying data rates and allows the radio to default to a predefined set of data rates when higher
data rates cannot be maintained.
To configure a radio's rate settings:
1. Click the
Rate Settings
radio.
2. Check the boxes next to all
Basic Rates are used for management frames, broadcast traffic, and multicast frames. If a rate is selected as a basic
rate, it is automatically selected as a supported rate.
3. Check the boxes next to all
