Objective

The Single Point Setup is used to control the wireless service across multiple devices. It is used to create a cluster of wireless devices, once the cluster is created then other wireless access points can join the cluster. After the cluster is completed all the devices share their information such as VAP settings, QoS and radio parameters to reduce interference and maximize the bandwidth of the network.

The Sessions page displays information of the clients associated with the WAP device. The clients are identified by the device location and device MAC address. This article shows the clients information in the cluster on the WAP551 and WAP561 access points.

Note: To enable Single Point Setup refer article Single Point Setup Configuration on WAP551 and WAP561 Access Points.
