LABEL DESCRIPTION
Create new Object Use this menu to create a new Radio Profile, MON Profile or ZyMesh Profile object to
associate with this AP.
Configuration
MAC This displays the MAC address of the selected AP.
Model This field displays the AP’s hardware model information. It displays N/A (not applicable) only
when the AP disconnects from the NXC and the information is unavailable as a result.
S/N This displays the serial number of the selected AP.
Description Enter a description for this AP. You can use up to 31 characters, spaces and underscores
allowed.
The system automatically generates a default name in the format of AP-xxxxxxxxxxxx
(where xxxxxxxxxxxx is the AP’s MAC address).
Group Setting Select an AP group to which you want this AP to belong.
System Name Enter a name to identify the AP on a network. This is usually the AP’s fully qualified domain
name.
Location Specify the name of the place where the AP is located.
Roaming Group Specify the name of the roaming group to which the AP belongs. You can use up to 31
alphanumeric and @# characters. Dashes and underscores are also allowed. The name
should start with a letter or digit.
The 802.11k neighbor list a client requests from the AP is generated according to the
roaming group and RCPI (Received Channel Power Indicator) value of its neighbor APs.
When a client wants to roam from the current AP to another, other APs in the same roaming
group or not in a roaming group will be candidates for roaming. Neighbor APs in a different
roaming group will be excluded from the 802.11k neighbor lists even when the neighbor AP
has the best signal strength.
If the AP’s roaming group is not configured, any neighbor APs can be candidates for
roaming.
Load Balancing
Group 1/2
Load balancing is only applied to APs within the same group. If a load balancing group is
not assigned to an AP, it will belong to a default group. See Table 59 on page 135.
Each AP can belong to up to two groups.
