Parameter Description
signal strength (dBm) of the user client on the AP side. If the signal
strength of the user client is too weak and below this threshold, the AP
will start to increase its Tx power.

Power Step-down Trigger Threshold (RSSI): This is the threshold of
the signal strength (dBm) of the user client on the AP side. If the signal
strength of the user client is too strong and above this threshold, the
AP will start to decrease its Tx power.

Upper Limit of Tx Power: This is the maximum Tx power allowed by
the thin AP, and the Tx power cannot be adjusted higher than it.

Lower Limit of Tx Power: This is the minimum Tx power allowed by
the thin AP, and the Tx power cannot be adjusted lower than it.
Load Balance The load balance policy configured here will globally affect thin APs in all group
by overlaying the thin AP its own load balance policy configured in common
profile as long as the “Load Balancing” in the common profile is enabled by the
Global option:

Load Balancing Mode: Three modes are provided for selection:
o Disable: No global load balancing function needed..
o Users: The load balancing policy is based on the number of user
clients associated to the thin AP.
o Traffic: The load balancing policy is based on the user traffic
pressure in the thin AP.

Enable Manually Grouping -A thin AP usually scans neighbor APs to
be automatically grouped. If manual grouping is selected, the thin APs
which are using the same configuration profile should be grouped in
the same group. AP grouping is a good method for accelerating the
load balance process.

Max Refuse Time (1-100) - If load balancing is enabled, once an user
client is kicked out due to load balancing requirement, then its
re-association to current thin AP will be refused for a given time. This is
the refuse time.

Users Number Threshold - If the balance mode " Users " is selected set
the maximum number of user clients allowed to associate with the thin
AP here. When the number of associated user clients reaches this
threshold, any new client attempting to associate with this thin AP will
be rejected.

AP Users Number Difference - If the balance mode " Users " is
selected, set the maximum difference in the number of user clients
allowed between two thin APs here. When the difference touches this
threshold, any new client attempting to associate with the AP who has
more users will be rejected.

Traffic Threshold - If the balance mode " Traffic " is selected, set the
maximum throughput threshold allowed in a thin AP here. When the
traffic in a thin AP reaches this threshold, any new client attempting to
associate with this thin AP will be rejected.
