User's Manual

Data pane item Description
steers the client to the 5 GHz band (if the client is 5 GHz capable), but allows the
client connection on the 2.4 GHz band if the client persistently attempts for 2.4 GHz
association.
Force 5 GHz Select this option to enforce 5 GHz band steering mode on the APs.
Balance Bands Select this option to allow the AP to balance the clients across the two radios to
best utilize the available 2.4 GHz bandwidth. This feature takes into account the
fact that the 5 GHz band has more channels than the 2.4 GHz band, and that the 5
GHz channels operate in 40 MHz, while the 2.5 GHz band operates in 20MHz.
Disable Select this option to allow the clients to select the band to use.
3. For AIRTIME FAIRNESS MODE specify any of the following values:
Data pane item Description
Default Access Select this option to provide access based on client requests. When AIR
TIME FAIRNESS is set to default access, per user and per SSID bandwidth
limits are not enforced.
Fair Access Select this option to allocate Airtime evenly across all the clients.
PreferredAccess
Select this option to set a preference where 11n clients are assigned more air-
time than 11a/11g. The 11a/11g clients get more airtime than 11b. The ratio is
16:4:1.

4. For additional options, specify the following parameters:
Data pane item Description
MOTION AWARE
(MA)
Select Enabled to enable the MotionAware feature on APs. When enabled,
client count is
balanced among all the channels in the same band.
When HP MotionAware is enabled, ensure that scanning is enabled.
MA
CALCULATING
INTERVAL
Specify a value for the calculating interval of HP MotionAware. The value specified
for MA CALCULATING INTERVAL determines the interval at which HP
MotionAware is calculated. The interval is specified in seconds and the default
value is 30 seconds. You can specify a value within the range of 10-600.
MA NEIGHBOR
MATCHING %
Specify a value for MA NEIGHBOR MATCHING %. This number takes into
account the least similarity percentage to be considered as in the same virtual RF
neighborhood of HP MotionAware. You can specify a percentage value within the
range of 20-100. The default value is 75%.
MA THRESHOLD
Specify a value for
MATHRESHOLD
. This number takes acceptance client count
difference among all the channels of HP MotionAware into account. When the cli-
ent load on an AP reaches or exceeds the threshold in comparison, HP
MotionAware is enabled on that AP.
You can specify a value within range of 1-20. The default value is 2.
SLB MODE Select a mode from SLB MODE. The SLB mode determines the balancing strategy
