There are two options to configure: Scope Increase Factor and Device Limit.

The Scope Increase Factor option specifies the number of network levels to expand the scope. A value of 1 means only use the floor level. A value of 2 means use the floor and the floor's parent, and so forth.

The Device Limit option specifies a device limit. For instance, if you specify a device limit of 10 and more than 10 devices are connected to the port, the action will not be performed.
