z Poll interval
This defines the interval in milliseconds for communication between the Alcatel
Wireless LAN Switch and the Alcatel Access Points and AMs. The WMS will
contact the AP or AM every poll-interval to download AP to STA associations,
update policy configuration changes, and download AP and STA statistics. By
default, the interval is set 60000 milliseconds. This can be set to a lower value
if the number of AMs deployed is small.
z Poll retries
This defines the maximum number of failed polling attempts before the polled
AP is declared down.
z Grace time
This defines the buffer time for the WMS to AM communication in
milliseconds. By default, this is set 2000 milliseconds.
z Laser beam
The AM sends “laser beams” to APs or wireless stations to enforce policies.
For policy enforcement, this feature must be enabled.
