Beacon Interval: The WLA-9000AP broadcasts beacon frames regularly to announce its
existence. The beacon Interval specifies how often beacon frames are transmitted in time
unit of milliseconds. The default value is 100, and a valid value should be between 1 and
65,535.
RTS Threshold: RTS/CTS frames are used to gain control of the medium for transmission.
Any unicast (data or control) frames larger than specified RTS threshold must be
transmitted following the RTS/CTS handshake exchange mechanism. The RTS threshold
should have a value between 256-2347 bytes, with a default of 2347. It is recommended
that this value does not deviate from the default too much.
Fragmentation: When the size of a unicast frame exceeds the fragmentation threshold, it
will be fragmented before the transmission. It should have a value of 256-2346 bytes, with a
default of 2346. If you experience a high packet error rate, you should slightly decrease the
Fragmentation Threshold.
DTIM Interval: The WLA-9000AP buffers packets for stations that operate in the
power-saving mode. The Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) informs such
power-conserving stations that there are packets waiting to be received by them. The DTIM
interval specifies how often the beacon frame should contain DTIMs. It should have a value
