mu
lticast and broadcast packets buffered at the AP will be transmitted immediately after the
transmission of this beacon frame. The measurement is in beacon intervals.
Specify a DTIM period within a range of 1 - 255 beacons.
For example, if you set this to "1" clients will check for buffered data on the AP at every beacon. If you
set this to "2", clients will check on every other beacon.
The following command sets the DTIM interval to 3.
AT-TQ2403# set bss wlan0bssInternal dtim-period 3
To get the updated value for DTIM interval after you have changed it:
AT-TQ2403# get bss wlan0bssInternal dtim-period
3
9. Set the Fragmentation Threshold
You can specif
y a fragmentation threshold as a number between 256 and 2,346 to set the frame size
threshold in bytes. The fragmentation threshold is a way of limiting the size of packets (frames)
transmitted over the network. If a packet exceeds the fragmentation threshold set here, the
fragmentation function will be activated and the packet will be sent as multiple 802.11 frames. If the
packet being transmitted is equal to or less than the threshold, fragmentation will not be used. Setting
the threshold to the largest value (2,346 bytes) effectively disables fragmentation.
The following command sets the fragmentation threshold to 2000.
AT-TQ2403# set radio wlan0 fragmentation-threshold 2000
10. Set the RTS Threshold
You ca
n specify an RTS Threshold value between 0 and 2347. The RTS threshold specifies the packet size
of a request to send (RTS) transmission. This helps control traffic flow through the access point,
especially one with a lot of clients.
The following command sets the RTS threshold at
AT-TQ2403# set radio wlan0 rts-threshold 2346
MAC Filtering
Note: Before configuring this feature, make sure yo
u are familiar with the names of the
interfaces as described in “Understanding Interfaces as Presented in the CLI
”. The
interface name you reference in a command determines whether a setting applies to a
wired or wireless interface, the Internal or Guest network, or (on a dual-radio AP) to
radio "one" or radio "two".
You can control access to AT-TQ2403 Management Software based on Media Access Control (MAC)
addresses. Based on how you set the filter, you can allow only client stations with a listed MAC address
or prevent access to the stations listed.
1. Specify an Accept or Deny List
2. Add MAC Addresses of Client Stations to the Filtering List
3. Remove a Client Station’s MAC Address from the Filtering List
