Table 3-23 11a Radio Hardware Settings (continued)
Field	Description
Maximum RTS Retries (1-128)	Enter the maximum number of times the
	access point issues an RTS before stopping
	the attempt to send the packet through the
	radio.
Max. Data Retires (1-128)	Enter the maximum number of attempts the
	access point makes to send a packet before
	giving up and dropping the packet.
Beacon Period (Kusec)	Enter the amount of time between beacons in
	kilomicroseconds. (One kilomicrosecond
	equals 1,024 microseconds.)
Data Beacon Rate (DTIM)	Enter the amount of time, always a multiple
	of the beacon period, to determine how often
	the beacon contains a delivery traffic
	indication message (DTIM).
	The DTIM tells power-save client devices
	that a packet is waiting for them.
	If the beacon period is set at 100, its default
	setting, and the data beacon rate is set at 2, its
	default setting, then the access point sends a
	beacon containing a DTIM every 200
	Kmsecs. (One Kmsec equals 1,024
	microseconds.)
Default Radio Channel	From the list, select the radio channel you
	want for a default.
Search for less-congested Radio	From the list, select one of the following:
Channel?	• yes—Allows the access point to scan for
	the radio channel that is least busy and
	selects that channel for use.
	• no—Will not allow the access point to
	scan for a radio channel that is least busy.
