1533The SSID is a string up to 32 characters
1534in length and may be specified as either a normal string or in
1535hexadecimal when preceded by
1536.Ql 0x .
1537Additionally, the SSID may be cleared by setting it to
1538.Ql - .
1539.It Cm tdmaslot Ar slot
1540When operating with TDMA, use the specified
1541.Ar slot
1542configuration.
1543The
1544.Ar slot
1545is a number between 0 and the maximum number of slots in the BSS.
1546Note that a station configured as slot 0 is a master and
1547will broadcast beacon frames advertising the BSS;
1548stations configured to use other slots will always
1549scan to locate a master before they ever transmit.
1550By default
1551.Cm tdmaslot
1552is set to 1.
1553.It Cm tdmaslotcnt Ar cnt
1554When operating with TDMA, setup a BSS with
1555.Ar cnt
1556slots.
1557The slot count may be at most 8.
1558The current implementation is only tested with two stations
1559(i.e. point to point applications).
1560This setting is only meaningful when a station is configured as slot 0;
1561other stations adopt this setting from the BSS they join.
1562By default
1563.Cm tdmaslotcnt
1564is set to 2.
1565.It Cm tdmaslotlen Ar len
1566When operating with TDMA, setup a BSS such that each station has a slot
1567.Ar len
1568microseconds long.
1569The slot length must be at least 150 microseconds (1/8 TU)
1570and no more than 65 milliseconds.
1571Note that setting too small a slot length may result in poor channel
1572bandwidth utilization due to factors such as timer granularity and
1573guard time.
1574This setting is only meaningful when a station is configured as slot 0;
1575other stations adopt this setting from the BSS they join.
1576By default
1577.Cm tdmaslotlen
1578is set to 10 milliseconds.
1579.It Cm tdmabintval Ar intval
1580When operating with TDMA, setup a BSS such that beacons are transmitted every
1581.Ar intval
1582superframes to synchronize the TDMA slot timing.
1583A superframe is defined as the number of slots times the slot length; e.g.
1584a BSS with two slots of 10 milliseconds has a 20 millisecond superframe.
1585The beacon interval may not be zero.
1586A lower setting of
1587.Cm tdmabintval
1588causes the timers to be resynchronized more often; this can be help if
1589significant timer drift is observed.
1590By default
1591.Cm tdmabintval
1592is set to 5.
1533.It Cm tsn
1534When operating as an access point with WPA/802.11i allow legacy
1535stations to associate using static key WEP and open authentication.
1536To disallow legacy station use of WEP, use
1537.Fl tsn .
1538.It Cm txpower Ar power
1539Set the power used to transmit frames.
