6.2.5.2 Modifying an Access Port Policy

To modify an existing Access Port Policy:
1. From the WS5000 Series Switch GUI main window, select Modify > Access Port > Existing Policy.
The system launches the Access Port Policy Manager.
Description
Sets the Delivery Traffic Indication Method (DTIM) Interval as a multiple of the
beacon interval. Valid settings are in the range [1, 20]. Broadcasts are stored by
the Access Port. When the Access Port receives a polling signal at the DTIM
interval, it releases the broadcast message to the MU.
Sets the AP's beacon interval, in milliseconds. Valid intervals are in the range
[20 – 1000].
Sets the Request to Send (RTS) threshold. This is the maximum size of packets
that use the 4-way handshake. The threshold is set by default to 2347 (the largest
packet size), and turns off the 4-way handshake. The 4-way handshake allows
nearby Access Ports to sense the wireless conversation and improve throughput.
Use the radio buttons to set the type of network message preamble (short or long)
that is added to messages that are sent through this Access Port Policy.
Declare the data rates supported as one of the following:
• Basic
• Supported
• Not Used
