You are recommended to retain the default settings if without professional guidance.
Parameter description
Parameter
Description
RTS Threshold
It specifies the frame length threshold for triggering the RTS/CTS mechanism in the
unit of byte. If a frame exceeds this threshold, the RTS/CTS mechanism is triggered to
reduce conflicts.
Set the RTS threshold based on the actual situation. An excessively small value
increases the RTS frame transmission frequency and bandwidth requirement. A higher
RTS frame transmission frequency enables a wireless network to recover from conflicts
quicker. For a wireless network with high user density, you can lower this threshold to
reduce conflicts.
The RTS mechanism requires some network bandwidth. Therefore, it is triggered only
when frames exceed this threshold.
Beacon Interval
It specifies the interval at which this device sends Beacon frames.
Beacon frames are sent at the interval to announce the existence of a wireless
network. Generally, a smaller interval allows wireless clients to connect to this device
sooner, while a larger interval allows the wireless network to transmit data quicker.
DTIM Period
It specifies the countdown before this device transmits broadcast and multicast frames
in its cache. The unit is Beacon interval.
For example, if DTIM Interval is set to 1, this device transmits all cached frames at one
Beacon interval.
It is used when the client is in power-saving mode, and the ONT informs the client
about the presence of buffered multicast/broadcast data on the ONT at the specified
interval. A proper value helps improve the power efficiency of clients.
