Using the Local Terminal for Unit Setup and Management
In general, wireless stations can be used in one of three mobility modes:
Load Sharing – Type 1 to enable Load Sharing.
When installing a Wireless LAN network in a high-traffic environment, you
can increase the aggregate throughput by installing multiple APs to create co-
located cells. Load Sharing allows the wireless stations to distribute themselves
evenly among the APs to best divide the load between the APs.
Note:
Preferred AP MAC (Ethernet) address of the preferred AP – You can
configure a station to prefer a specific AP unit. When the station powers up, it
will associate with the preferred AP even if the signal from that AP is lower
than the signal from other APs. The station will roam to another AP only if it
stops receiving beacons from the preferred AP.
Display Current Values – This read-only status screen displays current
WLAN parameters. Press any key to return to the WLAN Parameters menu.
User's Guide
High (Mobility) – Type 2 for stations that may move at speeds of over
30 km per hour.
Medium (Mobility) – Type 1 for stations that may move at speeds of
over 10 km per hour, but not over 30 km per hour.
Low (Mobility) -Type 0 for stations that will not move at speeds of
over 10 km per hour. Stationary is the default value, and in almost all
cases this is the best choice.
When working in Load Sharing mode, both the APs and the units should be
configured to Load Sharing Enabled.
