• DTIM — from 1 to 5. The default is 1. DTIM stands for Delivery Traffic Indication Message.
This setting determines how often the Access Point's Beacon (Traffic Indication Message)
contains a DTIM. The DTIM tells client devices in power-save mode that a packet is waiting
for them. The default setting causes client devices using power-save mode to wake up. To
conserve battery power in client devices using power-save mode, increase the Data Beacon
Rate (DTIM) setting. However, setting the DTIM too high may cause a wireless client to lose
its network connection.
• Wireless Card Access List — when the Trusted PCs Only radio button is selected, the
WGU624 checks the MAC address of the wireless station and only allows connections to PCs
identified on the trusted PCs list.

• Enable SSID Broadcast — allow broadcast of the Network Name (SSID). If you disable
broadcast of the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. Disabling SSID
broadcast nullifies the wireless network ‘discovery’ feature of some products such as
Windows XP.
