• Ignore Broadcast Probe Request. When a client sends a broadcast probe request frame to
search for all available SSIDs, this option controls whether or not the system responds for this
SSID. When enabled, no response is sent and clients must know the SSID in order to associate
to the SSID. When disabled, a probe response frame is sent for this SSID.
This setting can also be configured on a per-radio basis in the radio settings pages.
• DTIM Period. Specifies the interval between the sending of Delivery Traffic Indication
Messages (DTIMs) in the beacon. This is the maximum number of beacon cycles before
unacknowledged network broadcasts are flushed. When using wireless clients that employ
power management features to sleep, the client must revive at least once during the DTIM
period to receive broadcasts. The default is 2.
This setting can also be configured on a per-radio basis in the radio settings pages.
• Mixed TKIP/AES-CCM encryption. Selecting this option displays additional selections:
• PSK TKIP/AES-CCM for static TKIP and AES key configuration
• WPA/2 TKIP/AES-CCM for dynamic TKIP and AES
If you select PSK TKIP/AES-CCM, the key can be hex or ASCII. Enter a 64-character hex
key or an 8-character to 63-character ASCII key.
