AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide
5-64
5. Refer to the QBSS Load Element Settings field to determine whether channel usage data
is transmitted to associated devices.
6. Refer to the Beacon Settings field to set the radio beacon and DTIM intervals.
7. Select the Advanced Settings tab to strategically map BSSIDs to WLANs in order to define
them as primary WLANs.
Enable QBSS load
element
When enabled, the access point communicates channel usage data
to associated devices using an interval you define. The QBSS load
represents the percentage of time the channel is in use by the
access point and the access point’s MU count. This information is
helpful in assessing the access point’s overall load on a channel, its
availability for additional device associations and multi media
traffic support. This setting is enabled by default.
QBSS Beacon Interval Set the QBSS beacon (transmission) interval the access point uses
for sending QBSS data to associated devices.
Beacon Interval The beacon interval controls the performance of power save
stations. A small interval may make power save stations more
responsive, but it will also cause them to consume more battery
power. A large interval makes power save stations less responsive,
but could increase power savings. The default is 100. Avoid
changing this parameter as it can adversely affect performance.
DTIM Interval The DTIM interval defines how often broadcast frames are
delivered for each of the four access point BSSIDs. If a system has
an abundance of broadcast traffic and it needs to be delivered
quickly, Motorola recommends decreasing the DTIM interval for
that specific BSSID. However, decreasing the DTIM interval
decreases the battery life on power save stations. The default is 10
for each BSSID. Motorola recommends using the default value
unless qualified to understand the performance risks of changing it.
