3.5.1.2 Link Integrity Fig. 35. Link integrity settings.
When the Ethernet LAN interface is detected to be disconnected from the wired network,
all currently associated wireless clients are disassociated by the AP and no wireless
client can associate with the AP. The detection mechanism is based on pinging the IP
address specified in Reference host.
3.5.1.3 Association Control Fig. 36. Association control settings.
If the number of currently associated wireless clients exceeds the value specified in the
Max number of clients setting, no more wireless client can associate with the AP. If
traffic load of the AP exceeds the load specified in the Block clients if traffic load ex-
ceeds setting, no more wireless client can associate with the AP.
3.5.1.4 AP Load Balancing Fig. 37. AP load balancing settings.
Several Aps can form a load-balancing group if they are set with the same Group ID.
The load-balancing policy can be by Number of Users or by Traffic Load.
If the by-number-of-users policy is selected, a new wireless user can only associate with
an AP that has the smallest number of associated wireless users in the group. On the
other hand, if the by-traffic-load policy is selected, a new wireless user can only associ-
ate with an AP that has the less traffic load in the group.
