To view the current Utilization Rates for access points, click the Cluster menu’s Sessions tab. (See
“Sessions” on page 59.)
•
When clients are disassociated from an access point, the network will provide continuous service if
another access point is within range of the client. Clients should automatically retry the access
points to which they were originally connected and then try other APs on the subnet. Clients who
are disassociated from one access point will experience a seamless transition to another access
point on the same subnet.
•
Load Balancing settings apply to the access point load as a whole. When Guest access is ena-
bled, the settings apply to both Internal and Guest networks together.

Utilization for No New Associations
Utilization rate limits relate to wireless bandwidth utilization.
Provide a bandwidth utilization rate percentage limit for this access point to
indicate when to stop accepting new client associations.
When the utilization rate for this access point exceeds the specified limit, no
new client associations will be allowed on this access point.
If you specify 0 in this field, all new associations will be allowed regardless of
the utilization rate.
Utilization for Disassociation
Utilization rate limits relate to wireless bandwidth utilization.
Provide a bandwidth utilization rate percentage limit for this access point to
indicate when to disassociate current clients.
When the utilization rate exceeds the specified limit, a client currently associ-
ated with this access point will be disconnected.
If you specify 0 in this field, current clients will never be disconnected regard-
less of the utilization rate.
Stations Threshold for Disassocia-
tion
Specify the number of clients that you want as a stations threshold for disasso-
ciation. If the number of clients associated with the access point at any one
time is equal to or less than the number you specify here, no client will be dis-
associated regardless of the
Utilization for Disassociation
value.
Theoretically, the maximum number of clients allowed is 2007.
USRobotics
recommends setting the maximum to between 30 and 50
clients . This allows for a workable load on the access point, given that
bandwidth is shared among the access point clients.
