Clustering

The clustering function comprehensively manages several APC systems in a single wireless
LAN when several APC systems are used to manage a wireless LAN that cannot be
managed by a single APC. The inter-APC handover function is provided by using
clustering. In other words, it can provide the handover function between wireless LANs
managed by different APC systems.
However, if a model is different, it is not interoperated through clustering.
