VigorAP 900 User’s Guide

Note:
DrayTek central wireless management (AP Management) lets control, efficiency,
monitoring and security of your company-wide wireless access easier to be managed.
Inside the web user interface, we call “central wireless management” as Central AP
Management which supports mobility, client monitoring/reporting and load-balancing to
multiple APs. For central wireless management, you will need a Vigor2860 or Vigor2925
series router; there is no per-node licensing or subscription required. With the unified user
interface of Vigor2860 Combo WAN series and Vigor2925 Triple WAN series, the
multiple deployment of VigorAP 900 can be clear at the first sight. For multiple wireless
clients, to apply the AP Load Balancing to the multiple APs will manage wireless traffic
with smooth flow and enhanced efficiency.

Load Balance can help to distribute the traffic for all of the access points (e.g., VigorAP 900)
registered to Vigor router. Thus, the bandwidth will not be occupied by certain access points.
However, traffic overload might be occurred if too many wireless stations connected to
VigorAP 900 for data incoming and outgoing. Therefore, “Force Overload Disassociation” is
required to terminate the network connection of the client’s station to release network traffic.
When the function of “Force Overload Disassociation” in web user interface of Vigor router
(e.g., Vigor2860 or Vigor2925 series) is enabled, wireless clients specified in
black list
of
such web page will be disassociated to solve the problem of traffic overload.
The following web page is used to configure white list and black list for wireless stations.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
White List/Black List
Display the information (such as index number, MAC address
and comment) for all of the members in White List/Black List.
Wireless stations listed in Black List will be forcefully
disconnected first when traffic overload occurs and “Force
Overload Disassociation” is enabled.
Client’s MAC
Specify the MAC Address of the remote/local client.
