System Settings enable you to adjust various device-level
functions, including device health alarm thresholds, VoIP features, and client OS
detection types.
-
Adjust Device-level
Settings as follows:
- LED
Brightness: Use the drop-down menu to set device status
LED brightness levels.
- Temperature
Alarm Threshold: Set when a device's ambient temperature
generates a warning.
- Fans
Underspeed Alarm Threshold: Set when the fan's operating
speed generates a warning.
- Call Admission
Control: Indicates if devices monitor VoIP traffic to
determine if there is enough available airtime for new VoIP calls.
- Airtime per
Second: Set the amount of airtime reserved for
VoIP traffic. Decreasing the amount of reserved airtime for VoIP
traffic frees more airtime for traffic other than VoIP. This can
be useful if there are only a few VoIP users on the WLAN. For a
high number of VoIP users, increase the amount of reserved
airtime.
- Guaranteed
Airtime for Roaming Clients: Set the percentage
of airtime that a device reserves on the access interface for
receiving VoIP calls from roaming clients. Consider lowering the
percent if VoIP users rarely roam, and raising the setting if
roaming occurs often.
- OS
Detection: Enable devices to detect client device OS
based on a combination of DHCP option 55 contents and what is contained
in HTTP headers. After you select this option, choose from the following
detection methods:
- Use
DHCP option 55 contents: Select to use the DHCP
option 55 parameter list.
- Use
HTTP user agent IDs: Select to use the contents
of the HTTP user agent ID within the HTTP headers.
- Use
both detection methods (DHCP=primary method, HTTP=secondary
method): Select to use both the DHCP option 55
parameter list and the HTTP user agent information to identify
the client operating system. When you select this option,
devices first check the contents of the DHCP option 55 parameter
list. If it finds no match, then the device examines the HTTP
header for the HTTP user agent ID to determine the operating
system. If no match is found in either pass, then ExtremeCloud
IQ displays unknown as the client
OS.
-
Adjust Miscellaneous Settings as follows:
- Disable Reset Button: Select to disable the
ability of the reset button on the front panel of the chassis to reset
the device to its default settings or—if set—to a bootstrap
configuration.
- Disable Console
Port: Select to disable the functionality of the console
port on a device and block all administrative access to the device
through that port.
Note
Disabling the console port means that all administrative access
must flow over the network, and if there are any connectivity issues
with the network or if the device—if configured to use only DHCP to
get an IP address—cannot get its network settings from a DHCP
server, you will not be able to log into the device.
- Enable Smart
PoE: Smart PoE lets an AP230, AP320 or AP340 adjust
power consumption automatically based on the current power supply. The
AP230 and AP320 support PoE on the ETH0 interface. The AP340 supports
PoE on both its ETH0 or ETH1 interfaces, and can simultaneously draw
power through either one or both. Using Smart PoE, an AP can detect if
there are power injectors connected to one or both of its Ethernet ports
and how many watts are available for each PoE channel.
- Enable PCI Wireless Control Data Collection:
Select to include data about MAC DoS, IP DoS, and MAC filter violations
in PCI compliance reports.
- Accept ICMP Redirect
Messages: Select to enable devices to accept ICMP
redirect messages from routers on their subnet, or clear it so that
devices reject ICMP redirect messages.
- Report client information gathered from captive web
portals: Select to instruct devices to forward client
information (such as name and email address) to ExtremeCloud IQ, where
the information is logged as an event.
- Hostname in Beacon: To use this setting, you must
first define the iBeacon service in the associated network policy and
then turn it on via the Device Management
page.
