Advanced

The Advanced page allows you to enable or disable load balancing

and to control bandwidth.

Load balancing is enabled by default. Load balancing distributes traf-

 c ef ciently among network servers so that no individual server is over-

burdened. For example, the load balancing feature balances the wireless

clients between APs. If two APs with similar settings are in a conference

room, depending on the location of the APs, all wireless clients could po-

tentially associate with the same AP, leaving the other AP unused. Load

balancing attempts to evenly distribute the wireless clients on both APs.

If enabled, the Bandwidth Control function speci es the maximum

bandwidth given to each wireless client.
