Understanding Clustering

A key feature of the AT-TQ2403 Management Software is the ability to form a dynamic, configuration-aware group (called a cluster) with other AT-TQ2403 Management Software in a network in the same subnet. Access points can participate in a self-organizing cluster which makes it easier for you to deploy, administer, and secure your wireless network. The cluster provides a single point of administration and lets you view the deployment of access points as a single wireless network rather than a series of separate wireless devices.

What is a Cluster?

A cluster is a group of access points which are coordinated as a single group via AP administration. You can have multiple clusters on the same subnet if they have different cluster "names".

How Many APs Can a Cluster Support?

Validation testing has verified 15 AP without enable Virtual Wireless Network function on the same subnet. Validation testing has verified 8 AP with enable 4 Virtual Wireless Network on the same subnet. In this test case the cluster function works well.

Only the same country domain setting can be clustered.

Note: If the devices are assigned with different country setting, they can not be clustered together.
