Configuring Wi-Fi Access Point Parameters
April 2, 2012
Confidential
Document Number BDTM02201-A01 Standard
While using this command, keep in mind the following:
• If you do not use the
strict
parameter, and a new client continues to try to
associate after the client maximum is reached, the AP does accept it after
three retries. (All association retries in a one minute interval is considered a
single retry.)
• If you use the
strict
parameter, the AP does not accept a new client when
the client maximum is reached, even if the new client to tries to associate
repeatedly.
• Changing the client maximum does not take effect until two minutes later.
• Changing the client maximum does not disconnect any existing client.
The <max_num> parameter ranges from 0 to 256. The default is 256.
Configuring
RTS-CTS
Handshaking
/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set rts-cts {disabled|enabled <threshold>}
This command lets you enable or disable Request-to-Send (RTS) and
Clear-to-Send (CTS) handshaking.
When enabled, handshaking occurs for packets larger than the threshold. The
<threshold> parameter can range from 1 to 65536. The default value is 100.
By default, dynamic rate handshaking is
disabled
.
Specifying the
Beacon Period
/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set beacon-period
{auto | <bp_value> [dtim <dt_value>]}
This command lets you specify the behavior of your beacon period for
broadcast Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs). See also
If specified, the
<bp_value>
parameter specifies a fixed beacon period in
milliseconds. It ranges from 100 to 400.
The optional
<dt_value>
parameter specifies the DTIM value. It ranges from 1
to 3.
If you select
auto
, the BelAir unit automatically adjusts the beacon period and
DTIM value dynamically according to the number of MBSSIDs.
The default setting is to have a fixed beacon period of 100 ms with a DTIM
value of 3.
