the associated client.
l Disabled — The AP forwards all broadcast and multicast traffic.
DTIM INTERVAL
The
DTIM INTERVAL
indicates the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM)
period in beacons, which can be configured for every WLAN SSIDprofile. The
DTIMinterval determines how often the AP delivers the buffered broadcast and mul-
ticast frames to associated clients in the powersave mode. The default value is 1,
which means the client checks for buffered data on the AP at every beacon. You
can also configure a higher DTIM value for power saving.
MULTICAST
TRANSMISSION
OPTIMIZATION
Select
Enabled
if you want the AP to select the optimal rate for sending broadcast
and multicast frames based on the lowest of unicast rates across all associated cli-
ents. When this option is enabled, multicast traffic can be sent up to 24 Mbps. The
default rate for sending frames for 2.4 GHz is 1 Mbps and 5.0 GHz is 6 Mbps. This
option is disabled by default.
