D-Link Unified Access Point Administrator's Guide Configuring Load Balancing You can set network utilization thresholds on the access point to maintain the speed and performance of the wireless network as clients associate and disassociate with the AP. For the DWL-8500AP, the load balancing settings apply to both radios. To configure load balancing and set limits and behavior to be triggered by a specified utilization rate of the access point, click the Load Balancing tab and update the fields shown in Table 20. Table 20. Load Balancing Field Description Load Balancing Enable or disable load balancing: Utilization for No New Associations • To enable load balancing on this access point, click Enable. • To disable load balancing on this access point, click Disable. Provide the percentage of network bandwidth utilization allowed on the radio before the AP stops accepting new client associations. The default is 0, which means that all new associations will be allowed regardless of the utilization rate. NOTE: After you configure the settings on the Load Balancing page, you must click Update to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some access point settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change access point settings when WLAN traffic is low. 68 © 2001-2008 D-Link Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
