CTS Protection
Mode
CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode boosts the
access point's ability to catch all Wireless-G
transmissions, but it severely decreases
performance. By default, CTS Protection Mode is
disabled, but the access point will automatically
enable this feature when Wireless-G devices are not
able to transmit to the access point in an environment
with heavy 802.11b traffic.
Beacon Interval
The access point transmits beacon frames at regular
intervals to announce the existence of the wireless
network. Enter the interval between the
transmissions of beacon frames. The value range is
between 40 and 1000 milliseconds and default is
100 milliseconds.
DTIM Interval
Enter the Delivery Traffic Information Map (DTIM)
period, an integer from 1 to 255 beacons. The default
is 1 beacon.
The DTIM message is an element included in some
beacon frames. It indicates which client stations,
currently sleeping in low-power mode, have data
buffered on the access point awaiting pickup.
The DTIM period that you specify indicates how often
the clients served by this WAP device should check
for buffered data still on the access point awaiting
pickup.
For example, if you enter 1, clients check for buffered
data on the access point at every beacon. If you enter
10, clients check on every 10th beacon.
