Usage Guidelines
An AP broadcasts Beacon frames at intervals to notify STAs of an existing 802.11 network. After receiving a Beacon frame, a STA can modify parameters used to connect to the 802.11 network.
A long interval for sending Beacon frames lengthens
the dormancy time of STAs, while a short interval for sending Beacon
frames increases air interface costs. Therefore, you are advised to
set the interval for sending Beacon frames for an AP based on the
VAP quantity. The following intervals for sending Beacon frames are
recommended for APs with different VAP quantities on a single radio:
- No more than 4 VAPs: about 100 TUs
- 5 to 8 VAPs: about 200 TUs
- 9 to 12 VAPs: about 300 TUs
- 13 to 16 VAPs: about 400 TUs
Ensure that the air scan interval meets the following condition: scan-interval ≥ beacon-interval + 100 ms
