4.1.8 Wireless Advanced Settings

Data rate

You can select all data rates supported in current operation mode. Default

 

value is “best” which means the system will automatically adjust the

 

connection speed dynamically according to your current link status.

 

 

Transmit power

You can reduce RF output power by selecting Half (-3dB) / Quarter (-6dB) /

 

Eighth (-9dB) / Minimum. To change transmit power may decrease your

 

wireless signal coverage.

 

 

Beacon interval

This value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a

(20-1000)

packet broadcast by the WAP-6100 to keep the network synchronized. A

 

beacon includes the wireless LAN service area, the AP address, the

 

Broadcast destination address, a time stamp, Delivery Traffic Indicator Maps,

 

and the Traffic Indicator Message (TIM).

 

 

Data beacon rate

Enter a value between 1 and 255 that specifies the Delivery Traffic Indication

(DTIM) (1-255)

Message (DTIM). A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next

 

window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the AP has

 

buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the

 

next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. AP Clients hear the beacons and

 

awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages.
