Dell PowerConnect W-Series Aruba Instant 6.2.1.0-3.3 | User Guide
Parameter Description
Prefer 5 GHz
Selectthis option to use band steering in 5 GHz mode. On selecting this, the OAW-
IAP steers the client to 5 GHz band (if the client is 5 GHz capable), but allows the
client connection on the 2.4 GHz band if the client persistently attempts for 2.4 GHz
association.
Force 5 GHz
Select this option to enforce 5 GHz band steering mode on the OAW-IAPs.
Balance Bands
Select this option is selected, the OAW-IAP tries to balance the clients across the
two radios to best utilize the available 2.4 GHz bandwidth. This feature takes into
account the fact that the 5 GHz band has more channels than the 2.4 GHz band,
and that the 5 GHz channels operate in 40MHz while the 2.5 GHz band operates in
20MHz.
Disabled Select this option if you want to allow the clients to select the band to use.

4. For Airtime fairness mode, specify any of the following values:
Parameter Description
Default Access
Select this option to provide access based on client requests. When Air Time
Fairness is set to default access, per user and per SSID bandwidth limits are not
enforced.
Fair Access
Select this option to allocate Airtime evenly across all the clients.
Preferred Access Select this option to set a preference where 11n clients are assigned more airtime
than 11a/11g. The 11a/11g clients get more airtime than 11b. The ratio is 16:4:1.

5. For Spectrum load balancing, specify the following parameters:
Parameter Description
Spectrum load
balancing
Select Enabled to enable Spectrum load balancing on APs so that clients are
assigned to less loaded channels. When enabled, the Virtual Controller compares
whether an AP has more clients than its neighboring APs on other channels. When
the client load for an AP reaches or exceeds the threshold specified for SLB
threshold, load balancing is enabled on the AP. For more information, see Spectrum
Load Balancing on page 191.
SLB calculating
interval
The value specified for SLB calculating interval determines how often spectrum load
balancing must be calculated. The interval is specified in seconds and the default
value is 30 seconds. You can specify a value within the range of 10-600.
SLB neighbor
matching %
The value specified for SLB neighbor matching % indicates the percentage for
comparing client density of AP neighbors to determine the client load on a specific
AP channel. You can specify a percentage value within the range of 20-100. The
default value is 75%.
SLB threshold
The value specified for SLB threshold indicates the number of clients on a channel.
When the client load for an AP reaches or exceeds the specified threshold, load
balancing is enabled on the AP. You can specify a value within range of 1-20. The
default value is 2.
