The beacon signals allow wireless clients to maintain contact with the access point.
They may also carry power-management information.

dtim-period This command configures the rate at which stations in sleep mode must wake up to
receive broadcast/multicast transmissions.
Syntax
dtim-period <interval>
interval - Interval between the beacon frames that transmit broadcast or
multicast traffic. (Range: 1-255 beacon frames)
Default Setting
1

Command Usage
◆ The Delivery Traffic Indication Map (DTIM) packet interval value indicates how
often the MAC layer forwards broadcast/multicast traffic. This parameter is
necessary to wake up stations that are using Power Save mode.
◆ The DTIM is the interval between two synchronous frames with broadcast/
multicast information. The default value of 1 indicates that the access point will
save all broadcast/multicast frames for the Basic Service Set (BSS) and forward
them after every beacon.
◆ Using smaller DTIM intervals delivers broadcast/multicast frames in a more
timely manner, causing stations in Power Save mode to wake up more often
and drain power faster. Using higher DTIM values reduces the power used by
