Chapter 4 Tutorials 1 Click Configuration > Wireless > Load Balancing. 2 Select Enable Load Balancing to turn on this feature. 3 Set the Mode. If you choose By Station Number, then enter the Max Station Number in the available field. This balances network traffic based on the number of specified stations downstream of the NWA3000-N series AP. If you choose By Traffic Level, then enter the traffic threshold at which the NWA3000-N series AP starts balancing connected stations. 4 Select Disassociate station when overloaded to disconnect stations when the load balancing threshold is crossed. The stations are first disconnected based on how long they have been idle, then secondly based on the weakness of their connection signal strength. 5 Click Apply to save your changes. See also: Chapter 9 on page 111. 4.4 Dynamic Channel Selection Dynamic Channel Selection (DCS) is a feature that allows an AP to automatically select the radio channel upon which it broadcasts by scanning the area around it and determining what channels are currently being used by other devices. When numerous APs broadcast within a given area, they introduce the possibility of heightened radio interference, especially if some or all of them are broadcasting on the same radio channel. This can make accessing the network potentially rather difficult for the stations connected to them. If the interference becomes too great, then the network administrator must open his AP configuration options and manually change the channel to one that no other AP is using (or at least a channel that has a lower level of interference) in order to give the connected stations a minimum degree of channel interference. 70 NWA3000-N Series User's Guide
