Available On Use the Available On checkboxes to define whether the WLAN
you are creating or editing is available to clients on either the
802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n radio (or both radios). The Available On
checkbox should only be selected for a mesh WLAN if this target
access point is to be configured as a base bridge or repeater (base

defined as a client bridge only, the Available On checkbox should
not be selected

mesh support, see Configuring a WLAN for Mesh Networking
Support on page 9-9 .
Max MUs Use the Max MUs field to define the number of MUs permitted to
interoperate within the new or revised WLAN. The maximum (and
default) is 127. However, each access point can only support a
maximum 127 MUs spanned across its 16 available WLANs. If you
intend to define numerous WLANs, ensure each is using a portion
of the 127 available MUs and the sum of the supported MUs across
all WLANs does not exceed 127.
MU Idle Timeout Set an MU Idle Timeout the access point uses to timeout
idle mobile units from WLAN inclusion. When exceeded, the MU
must re-establish its credentials to assume operation within the
WLAN. Set a value between 1 - 65535 minutes. the default value
is 30 minutes.
