Moxa Technologies AWK-1100 Manual Do Utilizador

 

 

If the number of currently associated wireless clients exceeds the value specified in the Max 
number of clients setting, no more wireless clients can associate with the AWK-1100. If the 
traffic load of the AWK-1100 exceeds the load specified in the Block clients if traffic load 
exceeds setting, no more wireless clients can associate with the AWK-1100. 

 

Several APs can form a load-balancing group if they are set with the same Group ID. The 
load-balancing policy can be by Number of Users or by Traffic Load. 

If the by-number-of-users policy is selected, a new wireless user can only associate with an AP 
that has the smallest number of associated wireless users in the group. On the other hand, if the 
by-traffic-load policy is selected, a new wireless user can only associate with an AP that has the 
least traffic load in the group. 

 

 

Traditionally, access points are connected by Ethernet. By using a Wireless Distribution System 
(WDS), APs can communicate with one another wirelessly. For example, AP 2 acts as an access 
point for the notebook computers and it forwards packets sent from the notebook computers to AP 
1 through WDS. Then, AP 1 forwards the packets to the Ethernet LAN. Packets destined for the 
notebook computers follow a reverse path from the Ethernet LAN through the APs to the notebook 
computers. In this way, AP 2 plays a role of “AP repeater.”
