1. Turn the Radio On or Off
2. Set the Radio Mode
Valid values depend on the capabilities of the radio. Possible values and how you would use the CLI to set
each one are shown below.
The following command sets the Wireless Mode to IEEE 802.11g:
USR5453-AP# set radio wlan0 mode g
3. Enable or Disable Super G
You cannot enable/disable Super G from the CLI. You must set this from the Web User Interface. For
information on how to set this option, please see the field description for this option in
“Configuring Radio
Settings” on page 130 .
4. Set the Beacon Interval
The following command sets the beacon interval to 80.
USR5453-AP# set radio wlan0 beacon-interval 80
5. Set the DTIM Period
The Delivery Traffic Information Map (DTIM) period indicates how often wireless clients should check to
see if they have buffered data on the access point awaiting pickup. The measurement is in beacons.
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 access point 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.
USR5453-AP# set bss wlan0bssInternal dtim-period 3
To get the updated value for DTIM interval after you have changed it:
USR5453-AP# get bss wlan0bssInternal dtim-period
3
6. Set the Fragmentation Threshold
You can specify 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
To turn the radio on: set radio wlan0 status up
To turn the radio off: set radio wlan0 status down
IEEE 802.11b set radio wlan0 mode b
IEEE 802.11g set radio wlan0 mode g
