AT-TQ2403 Management Software User's Guide 33
What Kinds of APs Can Cluster Together?
A single AT-TQ2403 Wireless Access Point can form a cluster with itself (a "cluster of one") and with
other AT-TQ2403 Wireless Access Points of the same model. In order to be members of the same
cluster, access points must be:
Of the same Country Domain configuration
Compatible devices as designated by the manufacturer (APs must have compatible design features)
Of the same F/W Version
Of the same LAN
On the same Cluster Name
However, it is helpful to understand the clustering behavior for administration purposes:
Access points joining the cluster must be named the same. For more information on setting the
cluster name, see “Setting the Cluster Name
”.
Access points of other brands will not join the cluster. These APs should be administered with their
own associated Administration tools.
Which Settings are Shared as Part of the Cluster Configuration and
Which Are Not?
Most configuration settings defined via the AT-TQ2403 Management Software Administration Web
pages will be propagated to cluster members as a part of the cluster configuration.
Settings Shared in the Cluster Configuration
The cluster configuration includes:
Network name (SSID)
Administrator password
User accounts and authentication
Wireless interface settings
Guest Welcome screen settings
Network Time Protocol (NTP) settings
QoS queue (AP EDCA parameters only)
Radio settings
Only Mode, Channel, Fragmentation Threshold, RTS Threshold and Rate Sets are synchronized across
the cluster. Beacon Interval, DTIM Period, Maximum Stations, and Transmit Power do not cluster.
Note: When Channel Planning is enabled, the radio Channel is not synced across the cluster.
See “Stopping/Starting Automatic Channel Assignment
”.
