Figure 98: Performance Profile Screen
Define your Performance Profile using the General, Cumulative, Wireless Clients, and BSS tabs. Once
you have defined your Performance Profile, click the APPLY button to save your profile. Use the small X
button to the top left of this screen to exit without saving the profile.
All profiles have four tabs that are used to set performance threshold policies for your system:
• General - Names your Performance Profile and specifies whether or not you want to:
◦ Use a short time slot
◦ Allow streaming trac
◦ Enable protection mode.
• Cumulative - Assigns thresholds to network characteristics for all wireless clients and trac in the
APs BSS (Basic Service Set). ADSP generates an alarm if any of the thresholds are exceeded.
• Wireless Clients - Assigns thresholds that apply to any individual wireless client in the APs BSS and
will typically be lower than the aggregate wireless client thresholds. ADSP generates an alarm if any
single wireless client reaches one of these thresholds. From these alarms, you can identify the high
bandwidth users, and the times they are using the network. You should base wireless client
thresholds on either the normal transmission rate for your wireless LAN, or on arbitrary numbers
designed to detect your high-bandwidth users.
• BSS - Assigns thresholds for transmitting data to/from BSSs. ADSP generates an alarm if any of the
thresholds are exceeded.
General Tab
Use the General Tab of the Performance Profile screen to configure some basic settings for this
Performance Profile.
