Understanding Clustering
A key feature of the AT-TQ2403 Management Software is the ability to form a dynamic,
configuration-aware group (called a cluster) with other AT-TQ2403 Management Software in a network
in the same subnet. Access points can participate in a self-organizing cluster which makes it easier for you
to deploy, administer, and secure your wireless network. The cluster provides a single point of
administration and lets you view the deployment of access points as a single wireless network rather than
a series of separate wireless devices.
What is a Cluster?
A cluster is a group of access points which are coordinated as a single group via AP administration. You
can have multiple clusters on the same subnet if they have different cluster "names".
How Many APs Can a Cluster Support?
Validation testing has verified 15 AP without enable Virtual Wireless Network function on the same
subnet. Validation testing has verified 8 AP with enable 4 Virtual Wireless Network on the same subnet.
In this test case the cluster function works well.
Only the same country domain setting can be clustered.
Note: If the devices are assigned wit
h different country setting, they can not be clustered
together.
