DTIM Interval
(1-255 beacon
periods)
1 Enter the Delivery Traffic Indication Message that informs wireless clients about the
presence of buffered, multicast, or broadcast data on the AP. The DTIM interval
specifies the beacon frequency that synchronizes the AP to the network. This setting
supports 1 to 255 milliseconds.
Station Ageout
Time
1000 Enter the amount of time, in minutes, that a client is unseen by any probes before it is
deleted from the database. Enter 0 to disable ageout.
802.11g
Transmit
Rates
All
selected
Specify the total transmit rates for the 802.11g radio. The AP attempts to use the
highest transmission rate to establish a mesh link. If a rate is unavailable, the AP goes
through the list and uses the next highest rate. All transmission rates are selected and
used. If you do not select 802.11a or 802.11g transmit rates, all rates are selected by
default when you click Apply.
802.11g Basic
Rates
1 and 2
selected
Specify the basic rates for the 802.11g radio.
802.11a
Transmit
Rates
All
selected
Specify the transmit rates for the 802.11a radio. The AP attempts to use the highest
transmission rate to establish a mesh link. If a rate is unavailable, the AP goes through
the list and uses the next highest rate. All transmission rates are selected and used by
default. If you do not select 802.11a or 802.11g transmit rates, all rates are selected
by default when you click Apply.
