Hello Period
The hello period determines how frequently the access point
broadcasts hello messages on the network. On Ethernet
links and wireless links between access points, hello
messages are used to maintain the spanning tree. On
wireless links, hellos also serve as beacon messages to
synchronize communications with power managed stations.
Settings for Hello Period are:
1 Second
2 Seconds
3 Seconds
The hello period can be 1 or 2 seconds (default) on 900 MHz
or S-UHF radio links. A 1-second hello period requires the
wireless station to wake up more often, which increases
battery usage. However, a 1-second hello period can reduce
the delay before a pending message is received. For most
installations, the default (2 seconds) is recommended.
The Ethernet hello period can be set to 2 or 3 seconds.
