Menu Reference 2 Setup 1 On 1 Off Default: Off 5 Priorities can only be set if the WLAN client and the access point both support 802.11e or WMM, and also if the applications are able to mark the data packets with the corresponding priorities. 2.23.20.10 Beaconing Roaming settings are only relevant in the base-station operating mode. The wireless LAN access point (WLAN AP) periodically transmits a radio signal (beacon) so that the clients can detect it or the logical wireless networks (SSIDs) that it provides. Telnet path: /Setup/Interfaces/WLAN 2.23.20.10.1 Interface Opens the Expert settings for the physical WLAN interface. Telnet path:/Setup/Interfaces/WLAN/Beaconing Possible values: 1 Select from the available physical WLAN interfaces. 2.23.20.10.2 Beacon period This value defines the time interval in Kµs between beacon transmission (1 Kµs corresponds to 1024 microseconds and is a measurement unit of the 802.11 standard. 1 Kµs is also known as a Timer Unit (TU)). Smaller values result in a shorter beacon timeout period for the client and enable quicker roaming in case of failure of an access point, but they also increase the WLAN overhead. Telnet path:/Setup/Interfaces/WLAN/Beaconing Possible values: 1 20 to 65535 TU Default: 100 2.23.20.10.3 DTIM period This value defines the number of beacons which are collected before multicasts are broadcast. Higher values enable longer client sleep intervals, but worsen the latency times. Telnet path:/Setup/Interfaces/WLAN/Beaconing Possible values: 1 1 to 255 Default: 1 2.23.20.10.4 Beacon order Beacon order refers to the order in which beacons are sent to the various WLAN networks. For example, if three logical WLAN networks are active and the beacon period is 100 Kµs, then the beacons will be sent to the three WLANs every 100 Kµs. Depending on the beacon order, the beacons are transmitted at times as follows Telnet path:/Setup/Interfaces/WLAN/Beaconing Possible values: 416
