WEC8050 / WEC8500 Operation Manual
7.4.6 Energy Saving Groups

The purpose is to reduce the power consumption of the APC by turning off the RF
radios of APs without any connected STA at a specific time when the number of STAs
connected to the APC drops drastically.

The APs of the APC are divided into the active group in which APs are always in
operation and the standby group in which the RF radios of APs are turned off.
When the standby group (energy saving group) is defined, the APC recognizes the
remaining APs as the active group. You can define up to 10 groups.
Configuration using CLI
1) Enable/Disable: Configure whether the energy saving function will be performed.
(Enable: function performing, Disable: function not performing)

WEC8500/configure/rrm/energy-saving-group 1# enable
2) APC Threshold: Maximum number of connected users throughout the whole APC for
energy saving detection.
If the total number of STA associations is equal to or smaller than the APC threshold,
the day is judged as a holiday and the energy saving function is performed according
to the times set for weekends.

3) WEEKDAY: Start and end times of energy saving for weekdays.
(For a full day, set the start and end times as the same time.)

4) WEEKDEND: Start and end times of energy saving for weekends.
(For a full day, set the start and end times as the same time.)
