AP Model Option AP Behavior
• AP3xx
• AP4xx
• AP5xx
Tolerance Period This is a buer period (in seconds) between when
the metric value exceeds the Path Threshold and
the scan begins. Set the number of seconds to
allow the root path metric to recover before a scan
begins.
Valid values are 10-600. Default value is 60.
AP39xx Root • Yes - Mesh point is root node for this mesh
network.
• No - Mesh point is not a root node for this
mesh network.
Note: When using an AP39xx:
• When the AP39xx is a root AP, the Wireless
Distribution System (WDS) service is the
parent.
• When the Path Selection Method is snr-leaf or
mobile-snr-leaf, the WDS service is a child.
• In all other cases, WDS service is both a parent
and a child.
AP39xx Only Path Selection Method Select the method used for path selection in a
mesh network. Available options include:
• Uniform – The path selection method is
uniform (two paths are considered equivalent
if the average value is the same for these
paths). Use this method for regular
infrastructure meshing.
• SNR-Leaf – Use this method in special
infrastructure cases when it is more desirable
to make path decisions based on SNR than on
metric values.
AP39xx Only Hysteresis Minimum Threshold This is the minimum SNR value to consider a
candidate for the next hop in a dynamic mesh
network. For the AP39xx, this value maps to the
Roaming Threshold value.
• 100dB to 85dB maps to Low
• 84dB to 70dB maps to Medium
• 69dB to 0dB maps to High
