Wireless Configuration 4-21

M-10153-01

• DTIM — from 1 to 5. The default is 1. DTIM stands for Delivery Traffic Indication Message.

This setting determines how often the Access Point's Beacon (Traffic Indication Message)

contains a DTIM. The DTIM tells client devices in power-save mode that a packet is waiting

for them. The default setting causes client devices using power-save mode to wake up. To

conserve battery power in client devices using power-save mode, increase the Data Beacon

Rate (DTIM) setting. However, setting the DTIM too high may cause a wireless client to lose

its network connection.

• Wireless Card Access List — when the Trusted PCs Only radio button is selected, the

WGU624 checks the MAC address of the wireless station and only allows connections to PCs

identified on the trusted PCs list.

• Enable SSID Broadcast — allow broadcast of the Network Name (SSID). If you disable

broadcast of the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. Disabling SSID

broadcast nullifies the wireless network ‘discovery’ feature of some products such as

Windows XP.
