4 Refer to the Beacon Settings field to set the radio beacon and DTIM intervals.
Set Rates Click the Set Rates button to display a window for
selecting minimum and maximum data transmit rates for
the radio. At least one Basic Rate must be selected as a
minimum transmit rate value. Supported Rates define the
data rate the radio defaults to if a higher selected data rate
cannot be maintained. Click OK to implement the selected
rates and return to the 802.11a or
802.11b/g radio configuration screen.
Clicking Cancel reverts the Set Rates screen to the last
saved configuration. Extreme Networks recommends using
the default rates unless qualified to understand the
performance risks of changing them. The appearance of
the Set Rates screen varies depending on the 802.11a or
802.11b/g used, as the dates rates available to the two
radios are different.
Beacon Interval The beacon interval controls the performance of power
save stations. A small interval may make power save
stations more responsive, but it will also cause them to
consume more battery power. A large interval makes
power save stations less responsive, but could increase
power savings. The default is 100. Avoid changing this
parameter as it can adversely affect performance.
