What Kinds of APs Can Cluster Together? 
A single AT-TQ2403 Wireless Access Point can form a cluster with itself (a "cluster of one") and with 
other AT-TQ2403 Wireless Access Points of the same model. In order to be members of the same 
cluster, access points must be: 
  Of the same Country Domain configuration 
  Compatible devices as designated by the manufacturer (APs must have compatible design features) 
  Of the same F/W Version 
  Of the same LAN 
  On the same Cluster Name 
However, it is helpful to understand the clustering behavior for administration purposes: 
  Access points joining the cluster must be named the same. For more information on setting the 
cluster name, see “
  Access points of other brands will not join the cluster. These APs should be administered with their 
own associated Administration tools. 
Which Settings are Shared as Part of the Cluster Configuration and 
Which Are Not? 
Most configuration settings defined via the AT-TQ2403 Management Software Administration Web 
pages will be propagated to cluster members as a part of the cluster configuration. 
Settings Shared in the Cluster Configuration 
The cluster configuration includes: 
  Network name (SSID) 
  Administrator password 
  User accounts and authentication 
  Wireless interface settings 
  Guest Welcome screen settings 
  Network Time Protocol (NTP) settings 
  QoS queue (AP EDCA parameters only) 
  Radio settings 
Only Mode, Channel, Fragmentation Threshold, RTS Threshold and Rate Sets are synchronized across 
the cluster. Beacon Interval, DTIM Period, Maximum Stations, and Transmit Power do not cluster. 
 
 
Note: When Channel Planning is enabled, the radio Channel is not synced across the cluster.
