Away Timeout 
An authenticated client that has been disconnected 
from the access point has a specific amount of time 
within which it may reconnect without re-
authentication.  The timer starts when the client 
disconnects from the SSID. After the time reaches 
zero, the client is de-authenticated. If the timeout is 
set to 0, the client is not de-authenticated. Measured 
in seconds. 
Session Timeout 
The remaining time of the authenticated session. The 
timer starts when the client is authenticated. After 
the time reaches zero, the client is de-authenticated. 
If the value is fixed to 0, the session won't time out. 
Measured in seconds. 
Cluster 
The cluster function provides a centralized method to administer and control wireless services 
across multiple devices. When access points are clustered, you can view, deploy, configure, and 
secure the wireless network as a single entity. 
Note-Firmware version 1.1.0 or above support cluster feature. If your device has legacy 
firmware installed, download the latest one from www.linksys.com/support
.  
The access points within a cluster must have the same management VLAN configured. A cluster 
can support 16 LAPAC1200C/LAPAC1750C access points, as long as they are same model 
number.  
In each cluster, one access point must be manually configured as the master access point. There 
can only be one master in a cluster. This master will propagate configuration information, such as 
wireless settings, time settings etc. to the other team members within a cluster. Log in to the 
master access point to change sharable parameter settings instead of slaves.  
When firmware is upgraded on the master, all slaves within the same cluster will receive the 
upgrade.
