DeWalt WP54AG Beacon Interval, Only Access, Point mode, Data Beacon Rate, RTS/CTS Threshold, Down

This table describes the parameters that can be modified in the WLAN Advanced Setup page.

Parameters			Description
Beacon Interval			The Beacon Interval is the amount of time between
(Only	in	Access	beacon transmissions. A beacon is a guidance signal
Point mode)			sent by the access point to announce its presence to
			other devices in the network.
			Before a client enters the power-save mode, it needs the
			beacon interval to know when to wake up to receive the
			beacon (and learn whether there are buffered frames at
			the access point).
Data Beacon Rate			The Data Beacon Rate (DTIM) determines how often the
(DTIM)			beacon contains a delivery traffic indication message
(Only	in	Access	(DTIM). The DTIM identifies which clients (in power-save
Point mode)			mode) have data frames waiting for them in the access
			point’s buffer.
			If the beacon period is set at 100 (default value), and the
			data beacon rate is set at 1 (default value), then the
			access point sends a beacon containing a DTIM every
			100 K∀secs (1 K∀sec equals 1,024 ∀sec).
RTS/CTS Threshold			The RTS/CTS Threshold value determines the minimum size
			of a packet in bytes that would trigger the RTS/CTS
			mechanism.
Frag Threshold			The Frag Threshold value indicates the maximum size that
			a packet can reach without being fragmented.
			This value extends from 256 to 2346 bytes, where a value
			of 0 indicates that all the packets should be transmitted
			using RTS.
Transmit Power			The Transmit Power drop-down list lets you pick from a
			range of transmission power.
Radio Off When			The Radio Off When Ethernet Link Down function detects
Ethernet Link			when the Ethernet link is down and disables the radio card
Down			automatically.
