Device Configuration 5 - 85

8. Set the following

Neighbor Selection

values within the Advanced Parameters field:

9. Set the following

Channel Load Balancing

values within the Advanced Parameters field:

Band Ratio (5GHz)

Use the spinner control to set a loading ratio (between 0 - 10) the access
point 5 GHz radio uses in respect to radio traffic on the 5 GHz band. This
allows an administrator to weight client traffic if wishing to prioritize client
traffic on the 5 GHz radio band. The higher the value set, the greater the
weight assigned to radio traffic load on the 5 GHz radio band. The default
setting is 1. This setting is only enabled when Steer by ratio is selected as
the Steering Strategy.

5 GHz load at which both
bands enabled

When the Steering Strategy is set to Steer at 5 GHz, use the spinner control
to set a value (from 0 - 100%) at which the load on the 2.4 GHz radio is
equally preferred to this 5 GHz radio load. The default is 10%.

2.4 GHz load at which
both bands enabled

When the Steering Strategy is set to Steer at 2.4 GHz, use the spinner
control to set a value (from 0 - 100%) at which the load on the 5 GHz radio
is equally preferred to this 2.4 GHz radio load. The default is 10%.

Minimum signal strength
for common clients

When using probes from common clients is selected as a neighbor
selection strategy, use the spinner control to set a value from 0 -100% as
signal strength criteria for a client to be regarded as a common client in the
neighbor selection process.

Minimum number of
clients seen

When Using probes from common clients is selected as a neighbor
selection strategy, use the spinner control to set the number of clients (from
0 -256) that must be shared by at least 2 access points to be regarded as
neighbors in the neighbor selection process. The default value is 1.

Max confirmed
neighbors

Use the spinner control to set the maximum number of access point
neighbors (from 0 - 16) of the same model available for load balance
distributions. The default setting is 10.

Minimum signal strength
for smart-rf neighbors

When Using smart-rf neighbor detection is selected as a neighbor selection
strategy, use the spinner control to set a minimum signal strength value
(between 0 - 100%) for a SMART RF detected access point to be qualified
as a neighbor.

Max. 2.4GHz Load
Difference Considered
Equal

Use the spinner control to set a value (between 0 - 100%) considered an
adequate discrepancy (or deviation) when comparing access point 2.4GHz
radio load balances. The default setting is 1%. Thus, using a default setting
of 10% means 10% is considered inconsequential when comparing access
point radio load balances exclusively on the 2.4GHz radio band.

Min. Value to Trigger
2.4GHz Channel
Balancing

Use the spinner control to define a threshold (between 1 - 100%) the access
point uses (when exceeded) to initiate channel load balancing in the 2.4GHz
radio band. Set this value higher when wishing to keep radio traffic within
their current channel designations. The default is 5%.
