SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Synchronization

In order to obtain transmission, the Access Point and connected clients need to be synchronized.

Beacon Interval (20-1000): Set the interval value of beacon between synchronized frames. These synchronous frames also contain indication of frames that need to transmit to the power-saved stations. (Default: 100)

DTIM (1-16384): Set the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) interval value. The DTIM indicates how often the MAC layer forwards multicast traffic. This parameter is necessary to accommodate stations using Power Save mode. In order to maximize the utilization of channels, broadcast data is not transmitted every beacon for stations in Power Save mode. These power-saved stations must wake up to receive broadcast data at the DTIM interval.
