Configuring Radio Settings on an Access Point

Configuring Beacon Period and DTIM on an Access Point

Perform this task to configure the beacon period and delivery traffic indication message (DTIM).
The beacon period is the amount of time between AP beacons in Kilo microseconds. One
kilomicrosecond equals 1,024 microseconds. The Data Beacon Rate, always a multiple of the beacon
period, determines how often the beacon contains a DTIM. The DTIM tells power-save client devices
that a packet is waiting for them.
For example, if the beacon period is set at 100, its default setting, and the data beacon rate is set at 2, its
default setting, then the AP sends a beacon containing a DTIM every 200 kilomicroseconds.
The default beacon period is 100, and the default DTIM is 2.
