Hello Period

The hello period determines how frequently the access point broadcasts hello messages on the network. On Ethernet links and wireless links between access points, hello messages are used to maintain the spanning tree. On wireless links, hellos also serve as beacon messages to synchronize communications with power managed stations.

Settings for Hello Period are:

1 Second

2 Seconds

3 Seconds

The hello period can be 1 or 2 seconds (default) on 900 MHz or S-UHF radio links. A 1-second hello period requires the wireless station to wake up more often, which increases battery usage. However, a 1-second hello period can reduce the delay before a pending message is received. For most installations, the default (2 seconds) is recommended.

The Ethernet hello period can be set to 2 or 3 seconds.
