Add a New Performance Profile

Click the New Profile button to add a new profile. Define your Performance Profile using the General, Cumulative, Wireless Clients, and BSS tabs. Once you have defined your Performance Profile, click OK to save your profile or Cancel to exit without saving the profile.

All profiles have four tabs that are used to set performance threshold policies for your system:

• General - Names your Performance Profile and specifies whether or not you want to:
  • Use a short time slot
  • Allow streaming traffic
  • Enable protection mode.
• Cumulative - Assigns thresholds to network characteristics for all wireless clients and traffic in the APs BSS (Basic Service Set). ADSP generates an alarm if any of the thresholds are exceeded.
• Wireless Clients - Assigns thresholds that apply to any individual wireless client in the APs BSS and will typically be lower than the aggregate wireless client thresholds. ADSP generates an alarm if any single wireless client reaches one of these thresholds. From these alarms, you can identify the high bandwidth users, and the times they are using the network. You should base wireless client thresholds on either the normal transmission rate for your wireless LAN, or on arbitrary numbers designed to detect your high-bandwidth users.
• BSS - Assigns thresholds for transmitting data to/from BSSs. ADSP generates an alarm if any of the thresholds are exceeded.
