Unified Access Point Administrator’s Guide Section 5 - Configuring Access Point Services Field Description Max. Burst Length The Max. Burst Length is an AP EDCA parameter and only applies to traffic flowing from the AP to the client station. This value specifies (in milliseconds) the maximum burst length allowed for packet bursts on the wireless network. A packet burst is a collection of multiple frames transmitted without header information.
Unified Access Point Administrator’s Guide Section 5 - Configuring Access Point Services Note: After you configure the QoS settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some 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 AP settings when WLAN traffic is low.
Unified Access Point Administrator’s Guide Field Section 5 - Configuring Access Point Services Description Non Urgent Severity Configures the severity level for log messages that are considered to be non-urgent.

Unified Access Point Administrator’s Guide Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APs Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APs The UAP supports AP clusters. A cluster provides a single point of administration and lets you view, deploy, configure, and secure the wireless network as a single entity rather than a series of separate wireless devices. Managing Cluster Access Points in the Cluster The AP cluster is a dynamic, configuration-aware group of APs in the same subnet of a network.
Unified Access Point Administrator’s Guide Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APs Figure 64 - Manage Access Points In The Cluster (Active) If clustering is currently disabled on the AP, the Start Clustering button is visible. If clustering is enabled, the Stop Clustering button is visible. You can edit the clustering option information when clustering is disabled. The following table describes the configuration and status information available on the cluster Access Points page.
Unified Access Point Administrator’s Guide Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APs Removing an Access Point from the Cluster To remove an access point from the cluster, do the following. 1.) Go to the Administration Web pages for the clustered access point. The Administration Web pages for the standalone access point are displayed. 2.) Click the Cluster > Access Points link in the Administration pages. 3.) Click Stop Clustering. 4.
Unified Access Point Administrator’s Guide Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APs A session in this context is the period of time in which a user on a client device (station) with a unique MAC address maintains a connection with the wireless network. The session begins when the client logs on to the network, and the session ends when the client either logs off intentionally or loses the connection for some other reason.
Unified Access Point Administrator’s Guide Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APs Configuring and Viewing Channel Management Settings When Channel Management is enabled, the UAP automatically assigns radio channels used by clustered access points. The automatic channel assignment reduces mutual interference (or interference with other access points outside of its cluster) and maximizes Wi-Fi bandwidth to help maintain the efficiency of communication over the wireless network.
Unified Access Point Administrator’s Guide Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APs Viewing Current Channel Assignments and Setting Locks The Current Channel Assignments section shows a list of all access points in the cluster by IP Address. The display shows the band on which each AP is broadcasting (a/b/g/n), the current channel used by each AP, and an option to lock an AP on its current radio channel so that it cannot be re-assigned to another.
Unified Access Point Administrator’s Guide Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APs Field Description Change channels if interference is reduced by at least Specify the minimum percentage of interference reduction a proposed plan must achieve in order to be applied. The default is 75 percent. Use the drop-down menu to choose percentages ranging from 5 percent to 75 percent.
