Table 139. Access Point Profile Radio Configuration

Field

Description

State

Turn on or off the radio signal from the access
point. The options are:

On - The access point emits the radio
signal.

Off - The access point sends a disconnect
frame to the AP clients before shutting
down.

RTS Threshold (bytes)

Specifies the Request To Send (RTS) threshold in
bytes. Before sending a packet larger than the
RTS threshold, the access point sends an RTS
packet. The default value is 2347. When the RTS
threshold is 2348, the access point sends an RTS
packet.

Load Balancing

Check the checkbox to enable Load Balancing.
When it is enabled, the access point controls
traffic based on the value of Load Utilization.

Load Utilization (%)

Specifies the load utilization threshold in
percentage. When the network bandwidth
utilization reaches the Load Utilization, the access
point stops accepting new AP client. The default
is 60%.

Maximum Clients

Specifies the maximum number of AP clients that
the access point is allowed to connect. When the
field is set to 0, the access point does not connect
to any AP client.

RF Scan Other
Channels

Check the checkbox for the access point to scan
other channels in the same radio band to collect
information about wireless devices and report the
information to the WLAN Controller.

When the access point scans other channels, the
access point stops using the channel in use.

RF Scan Sentry

Check the checkbox to designate the access
point as an RF sentry, which intercepts beacon
frames and messages between other access
points. The designated RF scan sentry does not
send beacon frames or connect to AP clients.

RF Scan Interval (secs)

Specifies an interval in seconds that the access
point moves to another channel for RF scanning.
