Parameter | Description |
|
|
|
|
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. |
