multicast and broadcast packets buffered at the AP will be transmitted immediately after the transmission of this beacon frame. The measurement is in beacon intervals.

Specify a DTIM period within a range of 1 - 255 beacons.

For example, if you set this to "1" clients will check for buffered data on the AP at every beacon. If you set this to "2", clients will check on every other beacon.

The following command sets the DTIM interval to 3.

AT-TQ2403# set bss wlan0bssInternal dtim-period 3

To get the updated value for DTIM interval after you have changed it:

AT-TQ2403# get bss wlan0bssInternal dtim-period 3

9. Set the Fragmentation Threshold

You can specify a fragmentation threshold as a number between 256 and 2,346 to set the frame size threshold in bytes. The fragmentation threshold is a way of limiting the size of packets (frames) transmitted over the network. If a packet exceeds the fragmentation threshold set here, the fragmentation function will be activated and the packet will be sent as multiple 802.11 frames. If the packet being transmitted is equal to or less than the threshold, fragmentation will not be used. Setting the threshold to the largest value (2,346 bytes) effectively disables fragmentation.

The following command sets the fragmentation threshold to 2000.

AT-TQ2403# set radio wlan0 fragmentation-threshold 2000

10. Set the RTS Threshold

You can specify an RTS Threshold value between 0 and 2347. The RTS threshold specifies the packet size of a request to send (RTS) transmission. This helps control traffic flow through the access point, especially one with a lot of clients.

The following command sets the RTS threshold at

AT-TQ2403# set radio wlan0 rts-threshold 2346

MAC Filtering

Note: Before configuring this feature, make sure you are familiar with the names of the interfaces as described in “Understanding Interfaces as Presented in the CLI”. The interface name you reference in a command determines whether a setting applies to a wired or wireless interface, the Internal or Guest network, or (on a dual-radio AP) to radio "one" or radio "two".

You can control access to AT-TQ2403 Management Software based on Media Access Control (MAC) addresses. Based on how you set the filter, you can allow only client stations with a listed MAC address or prevent access to the stations listed.

1.Specify an Accept or Deny List

2.Add MAC Addresses of Client Stations to the Filtering List

3.Remove a Client Station’s MAC Address from the Filtering List
