Load Balancing; Switch And Ap Cleanup - D-Link DWL-3500AP Configuration Manual

1.8.4.1. Self Healing Cell Recovery
When a Managed AP is powered down, the power of its neighboring AP(s) managed by the same
switch is immediately increased by 20%. Power Adjustment Mode should be Interval to see an
increase in power of neighboring AP. By default, Initial Power is 100%, so decrease power of
APs below 80% or less to see 20% increase before powering down one AP. The power level can
be verified in the Radio detail on the Monitoring Access Points All Access Points page.
Note: A maximum of 3 neighboring APs are adjusted.

1.8.5. Load Balancing

The Wireless Switch performs load balancing on a per radio basis by tracking the wireless
bandwidth utilization. The maximum bandwidth utilization is configured in the Radio tab of the
Basic Setup. If the utilization reaches the configured threshold then new client associations are
rejected. The default bandwidth utilization threshold is 60%. The WLAN Utilization may be
monitored in the Radio Details tab of Monitoring Access Points Managed Access Points.

1.9. Switch and AP Cleanup

You will not need any of the settings you configured in this scenario for the other three
scenarios, so it is a good idea to reset the switch and the APs to the factory defaults.
To reset the switch configuration, click the Tools menu and select Reset Configuration.
