Protection Enables or disables rules that guarantee
that transmissions do not cause
interference with legacy stations or
applications. The possible settings are
describe here:
- Auto: This setting enables protection
when legacy devices are within range of
the radio.
- Off: This setting disables the protections.
Legacy clients and access points within
range may be affected by 802.11n
transmissions.
Here are the guidelines:
- The protection applies to 802.11n and
802.11b/g.
- Activating protection does not prevent
clients from associating with the access
point.
Beacon Interval Specifies the time interval, in milliseconds,
for transmissions of beacon frames. The
access point transmits beacon frames to
announce the existence of the wireless
network. The range is 20 to 2000
milliseconds. The default setting is 100
milliseconds (10 beacon frames per
second).
DTIM Period Specifies the Delivery Traffic Information
Map (DTIM) period. This value specifies
how often clients sleeping in low power
mode should check the access point for
buffered traffic. The interval is defined in
beacon frames. The range is 1 to 255
beacons frames. The default is 2 beacon
frames.
