Configure Load Balance
With the Load Balance feature, you can limit the maximum number of clients who can
access the EAP. In this way, you can achieve rational use of network resources.
Follow the steps below to configure Load Balance:
1. Click
to choose a frequency band on which the load balance feature will
take effect.
2. In the Load Balance section, click
to enable this feature. The ON button with
cyan background color indicates this feature is enabled.
3. Specify the maximum number of clients who can connect to the EAP at the same time.
While the number of connected clients has reached the limit and there are more clients
requesting to access the network, the EAP will disconnect those with weaker signals.
4. Click Save..
2.3 Configure Portal Authentication
Portal authentication provides authentication service to the clients that only need
temporary access to the wireless network, such as the customers in a restaurant or in a
supermarket. To access the network, these clients need to enter the authentication login
page and use the correct login information to pass the authentication. In addition, you can
customize the authentication login page and specify a URL which the authenticated clients
will be redirected to.
In this module, you can also configure Free Authentication Policy, which allows the specific
clients to access the specific network resources without authentication.
