5. Refer to the Beacon Settings field to set the radio beacon and DTIM intervals.

Set Aggregation

Select the Enable Transmit A-MSDU checkbox (within the
A-MSDU Aggregation field) to enable the aggregation of MAC
Service frames. When enabled, long frames can be both sent and
received (up to 4 KB). The A-MSDU buffer limit is not user
configurable. If disabled, no AMSDU packets are transmitted by
the access point.
Select the Enable Transmit A-MPDU checkbox (within the
A-MPDU Aggregation field) to allow the aggregation of MAC
Protocol frames. When enabled, long frames can be both sent and
received (up to 64 KB). When enabled, define an A-MPDU Transmit
Size Limit (default is 2 bytes), A-MPDU Receive Size Limit (default
is 65535 bytes) and an A-MPDU Minimum Spacing Time (default is
0 usec). Set these values as appropriate to broadcast the
maximum length A-MPDU transmit and receive intervals that can
be used.

Beacon Interval

The beacon interval controls the performance of power save
stations. A small interval may make power save stations more
responsive, but it will also cause them to consume more battery
power. A large interval makes power save stations less responsive,
but could increase power savings. The default is 100. Avoid
changing this parameter as it can adversely affect performance.

DTIM Interval

The DTIM interval defines how often broadcast frames are
delivered for each of the four access point BSSIDs. If a system has
an abundance of broadcast traffic and it needs to be delivered
quickly, Brocade recommends decreasing the DTIM interval for
that specific BSSID. However, decreasing the DTIM interval
decreases the battery life on power save stations. The default is
10 for each BSSID. Brocade recommends using the default value
unless qualified to understand the performance risks of changing
it.
