Device Configuration 5 - 147

10. Set the following

 AP Load Balancing

 values within the Advanced Parameters field:

Weightage given to 
Client Count

Use the spinner control to assign a weight (between 0 - 100%) the access 
point uses to prioritize 2.4GHz radio client count in the 2.4GHz radio load 
calculation. Assign this value higher this 2.4GHz radio is intended to 
support numerous clients and their throughput is secondary to maintaining 
association. The default setting is 90%.

Weightage given to 
Throughput

Use the spinner control to assign a weight (between 0 - 100%) the access 
point uses to prioritize 2.4 radio throughput in the access point load 
calculation. Assign this value higher if throughput and radio performance 
are considered mission critical and more important than a high client 
connection count. The default setting is 10%.

Max. 5GHz 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 5GHz 
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 5GHz radio band.

Min. Value to Trigger 
5GHz 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 5GHz 
radio band. Set this value higher when wishing to keep radio traffic within 
their current channel designations. The default is 5%.

Weightage given to 
Client Count

Use the spinner control to assign a weight (between 0 - 100%) the access 
point uses to prioritize 5GHz radio client count in the 5GHz radio load 
calculation. Assign this value higher this 5GHz radio is intended to support 
numerous clients and their throughput is secondary to maintaining client 
association. The default setting is 90%.

Weightage given to 
Throughput

Use the spinner control to assign a weight (between 0 - 100%) the access 
point radio uses to prioritize 5GHz radio throughput in the load calculation. 
Assign this value higher if throughput and radio performance are 
considered mission critical and more important than a high client 
connection count. The default setting is 10%.

Min Value to Trigger 
Load Balancing

Use the spinner control to set the access point radio threshold value (from 
0 - 100%) used to initiate load balancing across other radios. When the 
radio load exceeds the defined threshold, load balancing is initiated. The 
default is 5%.

Max. AP 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 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.

Weightage given to 
Client Count

Use the spinner control to assign a weight (between 0 - 100%) the access 
point uses to prioritize client count in the radio load calculation (on both the 
2.4 and 5 GHz radio bands). Assign this value higher if this radio is intended 
to support numerous clients and their throughput is secondary to 
maintaining client association. The default setting is 90%.
