Energy Saving Groups
• The purpose is to reduce the power consumption of the APC by turning
off the RF radios of APs without any connected STA at a specific time
when the number of STAs connected to the APC drops drastically.
• The APs of the APC are divided into the active group in which APs are
always in operation and the standby group in which the RF radios of APs
are turned off.
When the standby group (energy saving group) is defined, the APC
recognizes the remaining APs as the active group. You can define up to
20 groups.
Configuration using CLI
1 Enable/Disable: Configure whether the energy saving function will be

2 APC Threshold: Maximum number of connected users throughout the
