When load balancing thresholds are exceeded, this setting defines the length of time before AP load balancing restarts on the AP. The supported range is 0 to 360,000 seconds, and defining a value of 0 disables this function. Enable or disable the ability of APs to hand users over to another adjacent AP, as available, in order to optimize or improve general network load.

NOTE: This setting requires a Wireless Intrusion Protection license. Set the amount of time in seconds that an AP is unseen by any probes before it is deleted from the database. Enter 0 to disable ageout. NOTE: This setting requires a Wireless Intrusion Protection license. Sets the amount of time in seconds in which automatic hole detection should check for coverage holes. Enter 0 to disable this function. NOTE: This setting requires a Wireless Intrusion Protection license. Sets the amount of time in seconds before which an idle AP is deleted from the database, once it has become idle. Enter 0 to disable this function. NOTE: This setting requires a Wireless Intrusion Protection license. Sets the threshold at which RSSI deems coverage to be poor. Enables or disables interference detection for the APs to be configured with this optimization profile. Sets the maximum allowable interference to be tolerated by APs that are configured with this optimization profile, as a percentage. Sets the amount of time in seconds during which interference is allowed to exceed the threshold percentage. When interference exceeds the threshold percentage longer than the amount of time specified in this field, the threshold has been exceeded. Sets the period of time in seconds during which interference levels are to be monitored. This setting governs the deployment of the interference percentage threshold and the threshold exceed time. Sets the maximum time to wait with decreasing received signal strength indication (RSSI) before de-authorization is sent to the client. Sets the low threshold for received signal strength indication (RSSI). If the RSSI for a specific client falls below this threshold and continues to fall for the RSSI Falloff Wait Time, then the AP sends a de-authorization command to the client. Such de-authorization removes the client from the current AP and forces it to re-authentication on a nearby AP. Sets the amount of time in seconds between RSSI coverage checks. 110 | Dell PowerConnect W Configuration Reference Dell PowerConnect W AirWave 7.2 | Configuration Guide

AP Load Balancing Util
Wait Time
(0-360,000 sec)
0
Set the wait time for the AP when AP load balancing is enabled. When load balancing
thresholds are exceeded, this setting defines the length of time before AP load balancing
restarts on the AP. The supported range is 0 to 360,000 seconds, and defining a value of 0
disables this function.
Station Handoff Assist
No
Enable or disable the ability of APs to hand users over to another adjacent AP, as available,
in order to optimize or improve general network load.
Detect Association
Failure
No
Enable or disable an AP’s ability to detect failures in wireless user associations.
Coverage Hole
Detection
No
Enable or disable an AP’s ability to detect areas where an otherwise good RF signal is not
reaching wireless clients to an adequate level.
NOTE:
This setting requires a Wireless Intrusion Protection license.
Hole Good RSSI
Threshold
(0-65,535)
20
Set the amount of time in seconds during which Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI)
is to check coverage holes.
NOTE:
This setting requires a Wireless Intrusion Protection license.
Hole Good Station
Ageout (sec)
30
Set the amount of time in seconds that an AP is unseen by any probes before it is deleted
from the database. Enter 0 to disable ageout.
NOTE:
This setting requires a Wireless Intrusion Protection license.
Hole Detection
Interval (sec)
180
Sets the amount of time in seconds in which automatic hole detection should check for
coverage holes. Enter 0 to disable this function.
NOTE:
This setting requires a Wireless Intrusion Protection license.
Hole Idle Station
Timeout (sec)
90
Sets the amount of time in seconds before which an idle AP is deleted from the database,
once it has become idle. Enter 0 to disable this function.
NOTE:
This setting requires a Wireless Intrusion Protection license.
Hole Poor RSSI
Threshold
(0-65,535)
10
Sets the threshold at which RSSI deems coverage to be poor.
Detect Interference
No
Enables or disables interference detection for the APs to be configured with this
optimization profile.
Interference
Threshold
(0-100%)
100
Sets the maximum allowable interference to be tolerated by APs that are configured with
this optimization profile, as a percentage.
Interference
Threshold Exceed
Time
(0-360000 sec)
60
Sets the amount of time in seconds during which interference is allowed to exceed the
threshold percentage. When interference exceeds the threshold percentage longer than
the amount of time specified in this field, the threshold has been exceeded.
Interference Baseline
Time
(0-360000 sec)
600
Sets the period of time in seconds during which interference levels are to be monitored.
This setting governs the deployment of the interference percentage threshold and the
threshold exceed time.
RSSI Falloff Wait Time
(0-8 sec)
0
Sets the maximum time to wait with decreasing received signal strength indication (RSSI)
before de-authorization is sent to the client.
Low RSSI Threshold
(0-255)
0
Sets the low threshold for received signal strength indication (RSSI). If the RSSI for a
specific client falls below this threshold and continues to fall for the RSSI Falloff Wait Time,
then the AP sends a de-authorization command to the client. Such de-authorization
removes the client from the current AP and forces it to re-authentication on a nearby AP.
RSSI Check Frequency
(0-255)
0
Sets the amount of time in seconds between RSSI coverage checks.
