Field Description
beacons.
This value is transmitted in Beacon and Probe Response
Frames.
Possible values are 1 to 65535.
The default value is 100 msec.
DTIM Period Only for Operation Mode = Access Point.
Enter the interval for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message
(DTIM).
The DTIM field is a data field in transmitted beacons that in-
forms clients about the window to the next broadcast or multic-
ast transmission. If clients operate in power save mode, they
come alive at the right time and receive the data.
Possible values are 1 to 255.
The default value is 2.
RTS Threshold Here, you select how the RTS/CTS mechanism is to be
switched on/off.
If you choose User Defined, in the input field you can specify
the data packet length threshold in bytes (1..2346) as of which
the RTS/CTS mechanism is to be used. This makes sense if
several clients that are not in each other's wireless range are
run in one access point. The mechanism can also be switched
on/off independently of the data packet length by selecting the
value Always on or Always off (default value).
Short Guard Interval Only for bintec W1002n
Enable this function to reduce the guard interval (= time
between transmission of two data symbols) from 800ns to
400ns.
Short Retry Limit Enter the maximum number of attempts to send a frame of
length less than or equal to the value defined in RTS
Threshold. After this many failed attempts, the packet is dis-
carded.
