Dhcp Lease Information; Configurable Mu Idle Timeout; Auto Channel Select (Acs) Smart Scan; Enhanced Statistics Support - Motorola AP-51 Series Product Reference Manual

1.1.2 DHCP Lease Information

This release of the access point firmware provides an enhancement to the access point's existing
DHCP server functionality, allowing a network administrator to monitor IP address usage. When
either (or both) of the access point's LAN interfaces are configured as a DHCP server, a client's IP
address lease assignment can now be monitored in respect to its lease period and expiration time.
The access point's GUI and CLI interfaces support this feature.
To review the lease time and expiration time of a DHCP leased IP address, see
Statistics on page 7-12.

1.1.3 Configurable MU Idle Timeout

The configurable MU idle timeout allows a MU timeout to be defined separately for individual
WLANs. The MU timeout value can be defined using the access point's CLI, GUI and SNMP interfaces.
Imported and exported configurations retain their defined MU idle timeout configurations. The
default MU idle timeout is 30 minutes for each WLAN.
For additional information on setting a WLAN's MU idle timeout interval, see
Individual WLANs on page

1.1.4 Auto Channel Select (ACS) Smart Scan

The access point supports a new Auto Channel Select (ACS) feature allowing users to specify an
exception list for channel usage. When channel exceptions are defined, the access point skips the
channels specified in the list. When the smart scan feature is enabled (it's disabled by default), up to
3 separate channels can be excluded. The exception list is configurable using the access point's CLI,
GUI and SNMP interfaces. Imported and exported configurations retain their defined exception list
configurations.
For additional information on defining a channel exception list, see
802.11b/g Radio on page

1.1.5 Enhanced Statistics Support

With the new version of the access point firmware, users can monitor the access point's CPU
utilization and memory usage to analyze performance and make better determinations on how to use
the access point's remaining resources.
For information on reviewing the access point's CPU and memory usage, see
Statistics on page 7-39.
