7.2.7 AP Load Balancing Feature

This is a function that prevents managed APs from overloading. When the system
detects the occurrence of APs' associated-client numbers exceeding a predefined
threshold at circumstances and other APs in the same group are still below the
threshold, the balancing function will be activated to decrease the overloading APs'
transmit power and increase other available APs' transmit power; this will let other
available APs have more chance to be associated. The system can divide the
managed APs into groups; define the group threshold, and a time interval which will
trigger the AP load balancing.
Local Area AP Management feature also supports the grouping of various managed
APs and perform transmit power management to spread the network load as evenly
as possible among APs of the same group.
The administrator can specify the criteria under which AP load balancing feature will
be enforced. The attributes that can be customized for creating your own load
balancing initiation criteria includes the enforcement interval and the associated
client threshold.
The grouping of AP devices can be done on the Device List page.
