https://community.hpe.com/t5/communications-and-wireless/change-dtim-settings/m-p/4338192#M7076 <BR />I have some questions on the DTIM period setting, available on the Procurve Access Points and WES module. <BR /><BR />1. Does the wireless stations have to be configured/have support for the very short sleeping periods you get from DTIM?<BR /><BR />2. For a laptop going on batteries, is there any noticable gain in battery lifetime by using DTIM at all?<BR /><BR />3. Do you ever change the DTIM period to longer/shorter? I am thinking if question 2 is yes, then would it be of value to raise to DTIM period to 3 or 4 perhaps? <BR /><BR />If you have any answer or good guess on any of the question I would be very grateful! <BR /><BR /> Thu, 15 Jan 2009 09:36:52 GMT RicN 2009-01-15T09:36:52Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/communications-and-wireless/change-dtim-settings/m-p/4338192#M7076 <BR />I have some questions on the DTIM period setting, available on the Procurve Access Points and WES module. <BR /><BR />1.
