Energy Saving Auto Classification - Samsung WEC8500 Operation Manual

Energy Saving Auto Classification

The purpose of the AP without the connected STA at a specific time when the STA
connected to the APC is drastically reduced is to reduce power consumption of the APC by
turning off the RF radio of the AP.
The APs of the APC are classified into an active group to keep them at the operational
status all the time and a standby group to make their RF radio off at the designated time.
When the APC designates a standby group (energy saving group), the others are recognized
as an active group.
Up to 20 groups can be designated (Same as WEC8500/WEC8050).
Energy Saving Auto Classification is not a method under which the operator configures a
standby group but a method under which the system automatically classifies an energy
saving group by using the analysis of each AP.
For the convenience of the operator, the existing Energy Saving Groups and Energy Saving
Auto Classification functions can be used by mixture. In short, as shown in the existing
method, only Energy Saving Groups or only Energy Saving Auto Classification or both can
be used.
Configuration using CLI
1) Enable/Disable: Check the configuration of whether the Energy Saving Auto
Classification function operates.
(Enable: Function operation, Disable: No function operation)
WEC8500/configure/rrm# energy-saving-auto-class
WEC8500/configure/rrm/energy-saving-auto-class# enable
2) APC Threshold: The maximum number of all users connecting to the APC for Energy
Saving Auto Classification
If the number of all STA associations is less than APC threshold, the day is considered
as a holiday and the Energy Saving Auto Classification function operates depending on
the weekend setting time.
WEC8500/configure/rrm/energy-saving-auto-class# apc-threshold
3) WEEKDAY: Energy saving start/end time on a weekday
(For all day, the start time and the end time are set to the same time.)
WEC8500/configure/rrm/energy-saving-auto-class# weekday
4) WEEKDEND: Energy saving start/end time on a weekend
(For all day, the start time and the end time are set to the same time.)
