Linksys LAPN300 User Manual

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 elemen
t 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.
RTS Threshold Enter the Request to Send (RTS) Threshold value, an
integer from 1 to 2347. The default is 2347 octets.
The RTS threshold indicates the number of octets in a
Medium Access Control Protocol Data Unit (MPDU)
below which an RTS/CTS handshake is not performed.
Changing the
RTS threshold can help control traffic
flow through the access point, especially one with a lot
of clients. If you specify a low threshold value, RTS
packets are sent more frequently, which consumes
more bandwidth and reduces the throughput of the
packet. However, sending more RTS packets can help
the network recover from interference or collisions
that might occur on a busy network, or on a network
experiencing electromagnetic interference.
