10.5.1 Disassociating and Delaying Connections

When your AP becomes overloaded, there are two basic responses it can take. The

first one is to "delay" a client connection. This means that the AP withholds the

connection until the data transfer throughput is lowered or the client connection is

picked up by another AP. If the client is picked up by another AP then the original

AP cannot resume the connection.

For example, here the AP has a balanced bandwidth allotment of 6 Mbps. If laptop

R connects and it pushes the AP over its allotment, say to 7 Mbps, then the AP

Select this option to "kick" wireless clients connected to the AP when

it becomes overloaded. If you do not enable this option, then the AP

simply delays the connection until it can afford the bandwidth it

requires, or it shunts the connection to another AP within its

broadcast radius.

The kick priority is determined automatically by the NXC and is as

Idle Timeout - Devices that have been idle the longest will be

kicked first. If none of the connected devices are idle, then the

priority shifts to Signal Strength.

Signal Strength - Devices with the weakest signal strength will

be kicked first.

Note: If you enable this function, you should ensure that there are

multiple APs within the broadcast radius that can accept

any rejected or kicked wireless clients; otherwise, a

wireless client attempting to connect to an overloaded AP

will be kicked continuously and never be allowed to
