Parameter	Description
Disallow SSID (Network	Determines if end devices that have their
Name) of ‘ANY	SSID set to ANY or are left blank (empty)
(Master radio only)	can associate with this radio.
	Clear this check box to allow these end
	devices to associate with this radio.
	Although this setting is 802.11 compliant, it
	is not very secure.
	Check this check box to prevent end
	devices with an SSID of ANY or are left
	blank from associating with this radio.
DTIM Period	Specifies the number of beacon periods to
(Master radio only)	skip before including a DTIM (delivery
	traffic indication message) in a beacon
	frame. Range is 1 to 65535.
	Setting a higher DTIM period may
	conserve battery life in an end device, but
	it may increase response time.
