Power

This displays the AP’s power status.

Full power - the AP receives optimal power from the power sourcing equipment.

Force Full Power- the power sourcing equipment provides full power to the AP even in cases where a PoE injector that does not support PoE negotiation is used.

Limited power - the AP receives less than optimal power from the power sourcing equipment. This may be due to the PoE switch/injector using an earlier PoE standard. This may impact wireless transmission throughput or disable a radio transmitter, depending on the AP’s power requirements.

Off-Line - the AP is not receiving power.

Type

This indicates whether the AP is on the managed AP list (Mgmt) or not (Un-Mgmt).

This displays Limited when the AP is configured by conflicted or unsupported setting(s).

A sun icon signifies that the AP’s locator LED is blinking.

A circle signifies that the AP’s locator LED is extinguished.

Ethernet Uplink

This field displays the AP’s uplink port speed and duplex mode (Full or Half).

Bluetooth

This field displays the AP’s Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) capability. Bluetooth Low Energy, which is also known as Bluetooth Smart, transmits less data over a shorter distance and consumes less power than classic Bluetooth. APs communicate with other BLE enabled devices using advertisements.

N/A displays if the AP does not support BLE.

Unavailable displays if the AP supports Bluetooth, but there is no BLE USB dongle connected to the USB port of the AP.

Radio 1/2 Setting

 

Override Group Radio Setting

Select this option to overwrite the AP radio settings with the settings you configure here.

OP Mode

Load Balancing Setting

 

Enable Load Balancing

Select this to enable load balancing on the Zyxel Device.

Use this section to configure wireless network traffic load balancing between the managed APs in this group.

Select a mode by which load balancing is carried out.

Select By Station Number to balance network traffic based on the number of specified stations connected to an AP.

Select By Traffic Level to balance network traffic based on the volume generated by the stations connected to an AP.

Select By Smart Classroom to balance network traffic based on the number of specified stations connected to an AP. The AP ignores association request and authentication request packets from any new station when the maximum number of stations is reached.

If you select By Station Number or By Traffic Level, once the threshold is crossed (either the maximum station numbers or with network traffic), the AP delays association request and authentication request packets from any new station that attempts to make a connection. This allows the station to automatically attempt to connect to another, less burdened AP if one is available.

Enter the threshold number of stations at which an AP begins load balancing its connections.

This function is enabled by default and the disassociation priority is always Signal Strength when you set Mode to By Station Number.

Select this option to disassociate wireless clients connected to the AP when it becomes overloaded. If you do not enable this option, then the AP simply delays the connection until it can afford the bandwidth it requires, or it transfers the connection to another AP within its broadcast radius.

The disassociation priority is determined automatically by the Zyxel Device and is as follows:

Select the threshold traffic level of the radio slot at which the AP begins load balancing its connections (Low, Medium, High).

The maximum bandwidth allowed for each level is:
