ProSAFE Wireless Controller Setting Description Automatic Tx Power Control Select the enable radio button to enable automatic Tx power control: • When a client attempts to connect to an access point at low power, the access point's Tx power is automatically increased above the default level. • When coverage areas overlap, the access point's Tx power is automatically decreased below default level. By default, automatic Tx power control is enabled. Select the disable radio button to disable automatic Tx power control. WLAN Healing Maximum Neighbors to Participate in Self-healing From the menu, select the maximum number of neighboring access points that increase or decrease power to cover for a failing access point. Selecting 0 (zero) disables this feature. Use close neighbors, not a distant access point, and do not use all access points. By default, the selection from the menu is 3. Self healing wait Time after AP Failure From the menu, select the number of minutes to validate (that is, wait) before confirming a failed access point and increasing transmit power to cover the area. Enter a value greater than the access point reboot time, which is usually less than one minute. By default, the selection from the menu is 1. Entering a value greater than the access point reboot time allows for fluctuations in the power of nearby access points when access points are rebooted. Band Steering Band Steering Status Select the enable radio button to enable band steering to the 5 GHz band for access points that support dual bands simultaneously. If band steering is enabled, the wireless controller identifies WiFi clients that are dual-band capable and can force them to connect to the 5 GHz band rather than 2.4 GHz band. WiFi clients that are already connected to the 2.4 GHz band can be forced into the 5 GHz band. In general, the 5 GHz band provides more channels, provides more bandwidth, and causes less interference for WiFi clients. By default, the disable radio button is selected, and band steering is disabled. Note: Load balancing can steer clients to stronger access points. For more information, see Manage Load Balancing on page 210. 7. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. Configure WiFi and QoS Settings 202
