EWS Wireless Management Switch User Guide
LED Control: In some environments, the blinking LEDs are not welcomed. This option allows you to enable
or disable the devices LED indicators. Note that only indoor models support this feature.
Band Steering: When enabled, the AP detects whether or not the wireless client is dual-band capable, and
if it is, it will force the client to connect to the less congested 5GHz network to relieve congestion and
overcrowding on the mainstream 2.4GHz frequency. It does this by actively blocking the client's attempts to
associate with the 2.4GHz network.
Note: Both 2.4GHz and 5GHz SSIDs must have the same security settings.
RSSI Threshold: With this feature enabled, in order to minimize the time the wireless client spends to
passively scanning for a new AP to connect to, the AP will send a disassociation request to the wireless
client upon detecting the wireless client's RSSI value lower than specified. The RSSI value can be adjusted
to allow for more clients to stay associated to this Access Point. Note that setting the RSSI value too low
may cause wireless clients to reconnect frequently. It is recommended to disable this feature unless you
deem it absolutely necessary.
Guest Network: The Guest Network feature allows administrators to grant Internet connectivity to visitors
or guests while keeping other networking devices and sensitive personal or company information private
and secure.
