CHAPTER 1. Access Point Controller
System Overview
1.1 APC Overview
The Samsung Access Pointer Controller (APC) comprehensively manages the user
information and traffics while managing an Access Point (AP), i.e. a device that provides
wireless connection service for a user terminal in a Wi-Fi environment. There are two types
depending on the AP capacity; WEC8500 and WEC8050. It comprehensively manages all
the APs and provides services in a wireless LAN environment. Because AP and APC are
connected in tunneling, all the user traffics are exchanged and processed.
The APC is typically installed at a position where it can be connected to a backbone switch,
core switch or router in a network of enterprise environment and it controls a wireless LAN
AP and provides the functions for Wireless LAN (WLAN) services such as handover and
QoS, security/authentication, etc. The Samsung WEC8500 provides its services up to 500
APs. It can provide its services up to 10,000 connected user devices. Meanwhile, the
WEC8050 can accommodate maximum 75 APs and provides the service to maximum 1500
user devices.
The APC provides a WLAN network environment through AP management and also
provides various communication services required by enterprise customers in a wireless
environment by interoperating with other enterprise solutions. It provides Wireless
Enterprise (W-EP) solution in an enterprise environment by making the collaboration
applications such as telephone, message, or communicator, etc., that has been used in a
legacy wire environment, be able to be used in a wireless terminal such as smart phone,
tablet PC, or notebook.
CHAPTER 1. Access Point Controller System Overview

Figure 1. System Structure for Wireless Enterprise Solution
The Samsung W-EP solution, as shown in figure, comprehensively includes various
enterprise applications which are provided by wire/wireless infrastructure products and
wireless terminals. The WLAN network, a wireless infrastructure solution that provides
mobility in an enterprise environment, consists of W-EP wireless LAN Access Point (AP),
W-EP AP Controller (APC), and Wireless Enterprise WLAN Manager (WEM).
The Samsung APC and W-EP wireless LAN AP are core devices that provide various
services such as user authentication, wireless management, voice and data service, etc. in
the 802.11-based Wi-Fi environment. The WEM provides convenient configuration
environment, various statistics, and event information to an operator.
Term
In this manual, the WEC8500/WEC8050 and APC commonly represent Samsung
AP Controller. In addition, the AP means Samsung W-EP wireless LAN AP.

1.2 Network Configuration
The network configuration of Samsung W-EP solution that includes APC is shown below.
Figure 2. W-EP Network Configuration
IP-PBX
As an enterprise call manager, it is a switch required to provide the Fixed Mobile
Convergence (FMC) function to a wireless terminal (optional).
APC (WEC8500/WEC8050)
The APC manages all the W-EP wireless LAN APs installed in an enterprise
communication environment and it also manages user information and traffics.
Because the W-EP wireless LAN network configuration uses a centralized structure where
all the wireless user traffics are in tunneling through the APC, the APC is one of the most
important elements related to traffic management and throughput in the W-EP environment.
An APC is typically installed at a position where it can be connected to a backbone switch,
core switch or router in a network. It controls the W-EP wireless LAN AP and provides
handover, QoS, and security/authentication functions.
WEM
In the W-EP wireless LAN environment, various services are provided through a complex
network configuration. As many users are involved, its management is complex and
difficult. A normal network administrator can hardly handle any problematic issue as well
as a normal management task. The WEM is a Network Management System (NMS) that
efficiently manages this kind of W-EP wireless LAN network and service environment.
It manages a WLAN network, retrieves and configures the status of APC or W-EP wireless
LAN AP.

W-EP AP (W-EP Wireless LAN AP)
The W-EP wireless LAN AP is a device that provides wireless connection service to a user
terminal. It should be installed by considering the service area or region that will be
provided in an enterprise environment. Typically, the number of W-EP wireless LAN APs
is determined by considering the size of installation area and the number of users to secure
service coverage.
Ethernet Switch
Typically, because an AP is installed in a user area, use a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch
that does not use a power line for the beauties of environment, etc. Install the W-EP
wireless LAN APs by considering current consumption and the power capacity PoE switch.
In addition, because power drop may occur if the distance between the switch and W-EP
wireless LAN AP, the relationship between distance and power must be considered.
Typically, the distance between these two must be 100 m or less in order to avoid power
drop.
Wireless terminal/FMC Client
Terminal that provides the 802.11a/b/g/n interface such as smart phone, tablet PC, or
notebook computer, etc. In an Android smart phone, an enterprise Voice over IP (VoIP)
application equipped with the Samsung voice engine is called a FMC client (The FMC
client is an option).
Wireless additional service
In the W-EP environment, various application services are required as well as basic
wireless connection services.
The Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) provides a security service that is one of
the most important elements in an enterprise environment. The WIPS can seamlessly
receive wireless connection service through the security services such as unauthorized
terminal, unauthorized AP, or ad hoc connection blocking, etc.
Location service that manages the location of a terminal in a wireless environment is also
an application service required in an enterprise environment. With this, it is possible to
manage the location of an effective user or an unauthorized user.
IP application service
The IP application servers required in an existing wire network including Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, DNS server, web server, or RADIUS authentication
server are also used in the W-EP environment. Especially, the DHCP server and RADIUS
authentication server play a critical role in the wireless environment.
CHAPTER 1. Access Point Controller System Overview
© SAMSUNG Electronics Co., Ltd. page 25 of 628
WIPS Solution
It monitors the properness of the implementation of the wireless network infrastructure by
detecting penetration via unauthorized wireless equipment installed in the internal network,
the detoured gateway segment of the internal officers and employees who illegally connect
to the commercial WLAN service, etc. and provides the wireless network invasion
detection which implements the safe and effective wireless network environment by
detecting security vulnerabilities.

1.4 APC Application Configuration and Service
Scenario
1.4.1 Basic Configuration
To provide wireless connection service using a wireless LAN in the W-EP environment, the
W-EP wireless LAN AP that helps a terminal connect to the network through wireless and
an APC that controls the terminal are basically required. Especially, the role of APC is
critical to guarantee QoS of various services and provide high level of security functions in
an Enterprise communication environment. As various elements are required in the W-EP
environment, it is necessary to intuitively or organically manage each element via WEM.
In addition, the IP application servers including authentication server, DHCP server, or
DNS server which is a basic network configuration element in a wire enterprise
environment are also interoperated to provide more convenient and various mobile services
to users. One outstanding example is the FMC service that provides enterprise level VoIP in
a wireless LAN. With this, the wire/wireless integrated voice service can be provided.
An example of service configuration diagram using the W-EP wireless LAN system is
shown in the below figure. The configuration diagram is based on Samsung APC
(WEC8500).

The basic W-EP wireless LAN network configuration is a centralized structure where all
the wireless user traffics go through tunneling between APC and W-EP wireless LAN AP.
Therefore, the network information such as subnet information allocated to a wireless user
depends on the configuration of backbone network where the APC is connected.
This provides the following advantages during network configuration and setup.
Installing the APC is just adding it to a legacy data center or backbone network.
Therefore, the possibility of physical change of core network can be reduced.
In addition, separate design of wire/wireless network is easy using the APC as a
boundary.
No dramatic network change is required to install the W-EP wireless LAN AP.
An AP installed in a user area is located in various local network environments in a wide
region. Although it is unavoidable to install or expand a PoE switch, the modification of
local network where wire users are already configured can be minimized.
Because the APC relays all the user traffics, it can restrict a wireless attacker’s effects
and provide differentiated service for each user.
1.4.2 Configuration of Multiple APC for Redundancy
The APC provides the redundancy function to guarantee QoS for various services and
provide service stability in the W-EP environment.
An example of service configuration diagram for redundancy is shown in the below figure.

In this configuration, several APC s are used to minimize service disruption caused by a
disconnected APC and to enhance service sustainability. Basically, two or more APC s
must be installed in the same site for APC redundancy. The redundancy configuration
includes active-active configuration, active-standby configuration, and many-to-one
configuration. An operator can select a configuration based on the number of available
APC s and redundancy level.
1.4.3 Clustering Configuration using Multiple APC (WEC8500)
The W-EP environment has various area sizes, user density and number of users. If only a
single APC is required for service and management, the complexity of network
configuration or management is not high. However, if the capacity of a single APC is not
sufficient, multiple APC s must be installed for service. The WEC8500 is a Samsung APC
model providing the clustering environment.
To set up a wireless LAN network in an environment where multiple WEC8500s are
installed, the integrated management system and user service must be provided through
clustering configuration between the WEC8500s. This allows inter APC handover.
The WEC8500s configured in a cluster provides a service just like a single WEC8500
through periodic information exchange.
Inter APC handover
The inter APC handover is a handover between APCs. A clustering group is used
to provide this function and this clustering group means a virtual area.
Maximum 12 WEC8500s can be bound to a single group. An APC in a group
cannot be added to another group.
It provides layer 3 handover and the handover is supported when a terminal
moves to an APC which have different subnets. A serving APC is called as an
anchor APC and a target APC is called as a foreign APC. The control path and
also the tunnel for data traffic between APCs provide security using IPSec.
The inter APC handover provides this function both in the standard Wi-Fi
handover and Samsung’s unique AirMove method.
CHAPTER 1. Access Point Controller System Overview

1.4.3.1 Configuration of Distributed Clustering Service
The configuration of distributed clustering is to install each WEC8500 in a building or a
local site according to its capacity. This option can be used when there is no integrated
backbone configuration in a site or networks are separated for each building. It is suitable
for a site where several buildings are apart from each other.
An example of service configuration diagram is shown in the below figure.

1.4.3.2 Configuration of Centralized Clustering Service
In the centralized cluster configuration, all the WEC8500s in a site are installed in the
center. This is suitable when all the networks in a site are configured around the backbone.
This option is suitable for a site where several buildings are close to each other or a large
building where a seamless handover service is required using one or more WEC8500s.
Better performance can be obtained if there is a single backbone network and it is
preferable in terms of installation or maintenance because its service configuration is
simple.

1.4.4 Configuration of Multiple Sites Consisting of Headquarter
and Branches
The W-EP wireless LAN network environment usually consists of one headquarter and
several branches.
In this case, there are two types of network configuration.
Hierarchical type: A APC is installed in a branch as well as headquarter.
Branch AP type: A APC is installed only in a headquarter and only a W-EP wireless
LAN AP is installed in a branch.
In the hierarchical type, it is advantageous that each branch can use each different service
policy. However, the management in headquarter is complex and many low-capacity APCs
must be installed, so the branch AP type is commonly used.
The branch AP type has the same structure as a basic W-EP wireless LAN configuration.
A single difference is that a W-EP wireless LAN AP installed in a branch is located at a
remote place. The APC in headquarter provides a wireless LAN service in the headquarter
building and also provides a wireless LAN service to a remote W-EP wireless LAN AP
installed in a branch. As the APC in headquarter manages all the W-EP wireless LAN APs
using the same policy, it is easy to use and cost-effective.
An example of service configuration diagram for the branch AP type is shown in the below
figure.

If user traffics are concentrated on a single centralized APC when there are many branches
or they are far from headquarter, performance may be deteriorated due to the time delay of
packet transmission, etc. Therefore, use different operation schemes according to the
location of W-EP wireless LAN AP in the configuration of headquarter and branches.
In other words, the local W-EP wireless LAN AP in a headquarter does traffic tunneling to
an APC and the branch AP installed in a branch switches a user traffic directly to a
destination address without tunneling to the APC. Even at this time, the APC in
headquarter manages all the W-EP wireless LAN APs and users.

1.5 NAT Configuration between AP and APC
The APC system provides the same services even when the APC or AP is in a NAT
environment.
If the APC system is in a NAT environment and obtaining a public IP address is difficult,
the APC can be configured to use a private IP address by enabling port mapping on the
existing NAT equipment, so that it can provide services to APs on the public IP network
and APs existing under other NAT networks.
Using this feature requires that the NAT equipment be applied with the following port
settings:

3.4.6 VRRP Configuration
The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is an Internet protocol that provides the
backup router operation method in a LAN. If a fault occurs with a router that transmits a
packet from a host in a LAN, decide a virtual IP address in a DHCP manually or by default
by using a virtual router fault recovery protocol and share it among routers. Once a primary
router and a backup router are decided, the backup router becomes a primary router when a
fault occurs with the primary router.
Configuration using CLI

3.4.7 Configuring IPWATCHD
The IP WATCH Deamon (IPWATCHD) provides the function of detecting active or passive
IP collision. Regardless of IP collision attacker or victim, the information including source
ip/mac is transmitted as an evm fault event when the IP collision occurs. At the collision
time, the Gratuitous Address Resolution Protocol (GARP) reply is transmitted 3 times to
the unicast at every 1 second.
It supports the rate-limit function to deal with an intended ARP attack. Although ARP is
entered from a host that is not in the same subnet, it generates GARP by recognizing it as a
target if the host has the same APC IP.
Configuration using CLI
To configure the IPWATCHD function, enter into the configure mode of CLI.
Configure a TIMEOUT value (that a user wants) to detect an IP address collision.
Operator can enter a value between 10 and 300 seconds.
WEC8500# configure terminal

WEC8500/configure# ipwatch defend-interval 30
Parameter
Description
VALUE
Enter a defend-interval (10-300 sec).
The default TIMEOUT value for IP address collision detection is 30 seconds.
When the time is configured, the IPWATCHD daemon is restarted and a log and GARP is
generated if there is an IP collision.
Configuration using Web UI
In the menu bar of <WEC Main window>, select <Configuration> and then select the
<Controller> <Network> <ARP> menu in the sub-menus.
After entering a time value (10-300 seconds) that a user wants in the TIMEOUT FOR IP

CHAPTER 4. AP Connection
Management
This chapter describes the various configuration methods to manage the connection
between the APC and AP.
4.1 APC Management
4.1.1 Managing APC List
To enable the APC system to provide the cluster or redundancy service, several APC
systems must be installed at a site and each APC must have the information of other APC
systems.
Therefore, the APC system provides the function of managing the list of APCs that will
provide the cluster or redundancy function. And the APCs added to the APC list are used
during cluster or redundancy configuration.
One APC system that will be saved in the APC list consists of an APC name and Medium
Access Control (MAC) information. For the MAC address of another APC system, enter
the MAC address retrieved from the Monitor Summary Inventory MAC Address
menu of system WEC screen.
By default, its own system information is added to the APC list. For the APC, operator can
only change its name, but cannot delete it forcibly or change its MAC address.
The maximum number of APC systems that can be registered per model is as follows:

4.1.3 CAPWAP Configuration
A secured tunnel is created between APC and W-EP wireless LAN AP using Control And
Provisioning Wireless Access Point (CAPWAP), i.e. a standard protocol, and data is
transmitted through the tunnel. An encrypted data is used for both wire and wireless
sections, high security is provided.
The CAPWAP channel consists of control channel and data channel depending on the type
of packet being transmitted/received. The control channel handles provisioning and
configuration/control messages and the data channel transmits the data traffic exchanged
with a wireless terminal through CAPWAP tunneling. Because the control channel
transmits the wireless LAN configuration information, there should be no data loss.
Therefore, the re-transmission function is basically provided. In addition, the Datagram
Transmission Layer Security (DTLS) is mandatorily used for the security of transmitted
data. Meanwhile, as user data traffic is transmitted through the data channel, a faster
response is preferred instead of packet transmission reliability. Therefore, the re-
transmission function is not provided and the DTLS function is also optional.
For CAPWAP configuration, execute the following commands.
1) Go to configure apc capwap of CLI.
WEC8500# configure terminal
WEC8500/configure# apc
WEC8500/configure/apc/capwap#
WEC8500# configure terminal
WEC8500/configure# apc
WEC8500/configure/apc/capwap#
2) Configure the CAPWAP function using the following commands.
add-multicast-if [VLAN_ID]: Configure a VLAN ID for multicast interface.
auto-discovery: Configures the function of automatically detecting and registering
an AP.
auto-discovery-ap-group [AP_GROUP_ID]: Configures an AP group that will be
working when an AP is automatically registered.
change-state-pending-timer [TIMER]: Configures the maximum waiting time until
the APC receives the Change State Event Request message from an AP after
transmitting the Configuration Status Response message to the AP (RFC 5415).
ctr-src-port [port]: Changes the CAPWAP Control port (RFC5415).
date-check-timer [TIMER]: Configures the maximum waiting time until the APC
receives Data Channel Keep-alive (default: 30 seconds)
discovery-by-broadcast: Configures whether to allow connection to CAPWAP
broadcast.
CHAPTER 4. AP Connection Management
© SAMSUNG Electronics Co., Ltd. page 143 of 628
discovery-by-multicast: Configures whether to allow connection to CAPWAP
multicast. (The ‘add-multicast-if must be configured before configuring whether to
allow multicast connection.)
discovery-del-timer: If the Join message is not received after receiving a Discovery
message, this configures the timeout to discard the previously received Discovery
messages.
dtls-session-delete [TIMER]: Configures the waiting time to disconnect DTLS when
releasing the connection between an AP and CAPWAP.
retransmit-interval [INTERVAL]: Configures the re-transmission interval of
CAPWAP control packet retransmission.
max-retransmit [COUNT]: Configures maximum number of retransmission when

4.1.6 APC Redundancy Configuration
An operator can add a backup APC to an AP to make the backup APC provide the service
even when an APC fault occurs.
The maximum number of backup APCs that can be registered to one AP per model is as
follows:
APC Model
The maximum number of APC systems that can be registered
WEC8500
3 (Primary Server, Secondary Server, Tertiary Server)
WEC8050
2 (Primary Server, Secondary Server)
If a fault occurs to the primary APC while an AP is connected to the primary APC, the AP
is connected to the secondary APC. If a fault also occurs to the secondary APC, the AP is
connected to the tertiary APC. For reference, the WEC8050 model does not support a
tertiary APC.
CHAPTER 4. AP Connection Management
© SAMSUNG Electronics Co., Ltd. page 146 of 628
Operator can also configure fallback to return to the original APC from the backup APC
during the service. If the fallback operation is configured, the AP periodically performs
health check to check whether the primary APC can be connected. When the connection is
required, it can immediately perform fallback according to the fallback option or can
perform fallback on a specified time. The reason why configuring fallback time zone is to
minimize the service interruption due to fallback by making it happens when the load is
low.
In an APC, operator can configure the primary and backup APCs of an AP in the following
steps.
1) Register APCs to the APC list.
In the ‘APC List Management’, how to add the APC list is described.
2) Add the APCs in the APC list to redundancy.
If necessary, configure the fallback function.
And then, operator can configure the APCs added to redundancy as the primary,
secondary, or tertiary server of an AP.
3) Configure a primary, secondary, and tertiary server per AP. To make an AP operate in
redundancy configuration, configure the Discovery Type of the AP as ‘APC Referal’.
Use the Multi-Set function of WEC to configure several APs at the same time.
Configuration using CLI
1) By referring to the ‘AP List Management’, add the APC list that will be used as a
backup APC.
2) After entering into the configure redundancy mode, add or delete the APCs in the
APC list. If necessary, configure the fallback function.

4.2 AP Management
4.2.1 AP Group Configuration
The APC manages the services provided to the AP by group. An operator can add or delete
several APs to/from a group. It is also possible to add/remove WLANs to/from an AP
group so that the same WLAN services can be provided for each group.
When the APC is installed for the first time, a ‘default’ group is created. When the AP
information is created first time, the AP is automatically added to the ‘default’ group.
If the ‘auto-discovery’ mode is enabled in the APC, an AP connected to the APC is
automatically added to the ‘default’ group. For reference, operator can specify a specific
AP group where an AP will be added during auto-discovery configuration.
An operator can manage the services per group by creating a new AP group and can move
or a specific AP to another group or delete it in the original group. The APs deleted in a
group are automatically moved to the ‘default’ group.
When a new AP group is created, it is possible to configure AP information for each group.
If the Overwrite option is enabled for each setting, the respective setting is applied to all
APs within the group.
Generally, up to 16 WLANs can be added to an AP group. However, if a root AP is
contained in an AP group, only up to 15 WLANs can be added to the group.
If the AP group information is changed, i.e. if an AP moves to another group, the AP uses
the WLAN of a new group. Therefore, some existing WLANs in the AP are deleted and
some new WLANs can be added. The detail example is shown below.
(Example) Default group: Includes wlan1, wlan2, wlan3, and wlan4.
New group: Includes wlan4, wlan5, and wlan6.
When the AP_1 moves from the default group to a new group
The APC asks the AP_1 to delete the wlan1, wlan2, and wlan3.
The APC asks the AP_1 to add the wlan5 and wlan6.

4.2.3 AP Time Synchronization per Group
The AP can configure its time information using either the time stamp method or the NTP
method.
In the Time Stamp type, the APC periodically transmits the time of APC to an AP and the
AP is operating based on the received time. Unless a user changes the configuration, the
default is Time Stamp type and the interval is set to 7200 seconds (2 hours).
In the NTP type, the NTP server information is transmitted to an AP and the AP
synchronizes the time with the NTP server. A NTP server list must be created to transmit
the NTP server information to an AP and maximum 10 lists can be added. The ntp-interval
(2^N) is the interval when an AP receives the time information from the NTP server.
For example, if the ntp-interval is set to 6, an AP receives the time information from the
NTP server at every 2^6, i.e. 128 seconds.
The APC provides a function for configuring the time configuration method of the AP.
Configuring Time Stamp type using CLI
1) Go to configure apc ap-time-config configuration mode of CLI.
WEC8500# configure terminal

This chapter describes how to create and configure WLAN that is the most fundamental
basis for W-EP wireless LAN service.
5.1 WLAN Configuration
5.1.1 Basic WLAN Configuration
The WLAN profile helps configure and manage the WLAN connection service of an AP in
the APC. To use WLAN service, it is necessary to basically configure AP group and
interface group and specify Service Set Identifier (SSID).
Configuration using CLI
Go to the wlan configuration mode from the configure mode of CLI.
WEC8500# configure terminal
WEC8500/configure# wlan [WLAN ID]
Parameter
Description
WLAN_ID
WLAN ID (range: 1-255)
The WLAN configuration procedures are as follows:
1) Go to configure wlan configuration mode of CLI.
WEC8500# configure terminal
WEC8500/configure# wlan 1
WEC8500/configure/wlan 1#
2) Add WLAN to an AP group.
Configure an AP group to which WLAN service will be provided. The AP group
configuration is only possible in the AP group configuration mode instead of the wlan
configuration mode. The below configuration allocates wlan 1 to the apg_01 AP group.
CHAPTER 5. WLAN Management
© SAMSUNG Electronics Co., Ltd. page 205 of 628
A newly created WLAN is added to the ‘default’ AP group if the WLAN ID is in the
range of 1-16. If its WLAN ID is 17 or above, the WLAN is not included in the AP
group.
Maximum 16 WLANs can be allocated to each AP group.
WEC8500# configure terminal
WEC8500/configure# ap-group apg_01
WEC8500/configure/ap-group apg_01# add-wlan 1
3) Configure an interface group to which the WLAN service will be provided.
Several VLAN interfaces can be added to an interface group, and the WLAN service is
available only through the interface.
if-group [INTERFACE_GROUP_NAME]
4) Configure a SSID. The SSID is an ID used to connect to each wireless terminal to
provide the WLAN service.
Make sure to configure a SSID to use the WLAN service.
ssid [SSID_NAME]
5) Configure radio by selecting 2.4G, 5G or All (2.4G/5G).
radio [Radio ID: 1: 5 GHz, 2: 2.4 GHz, 3: ALL]
6) Configure whether to apply the WLAN service.

5.2 Local Switching
The APC provides the local switching function to support a service to an individual
network such as a branch office. The local switching function enables an AP to be
connected to WAN for external connection in an individual network where the APC is not
installed. The control packet of an AP and a wireless terminal is processed in the
centralized APC and a general data packet is processed in an individual network.
Therefore, if the tunnel mode of the WLAN is changed to local switching, part of the data
packet forwarding process performed by the APC is performed by the AP.
The following AP functions must be configured in the WLAN which is configured for local
switching:
1) WLAN-VLAN Mapping
The wireless device traffic connected to the configured local switching WLAN is
forwarded by the AP with the configured VLAN tag.
2) ACL
Packet filtering ACL is performed for the wireless device traffic connected to the
configured local switching WLAN.
3) Preauthetication ACL of Captive Portal
Web preauthentication packet forwarding ACL is processed for the wireless device
traffic connected to the local switching WLAN configured for captive portal.
The functions above are activated only for the APs added to the remote AP group.
Configuration using CLI
The procedure of local switching configuration is as follows:
1) By referring to the ‘Configuring Remote AP Group’, add an AP to a remote AP group.
2) Enter into the configure wlan configuration mode of CLI, and configure ‘tunnel-
mode’ to ‘local-bridging’.
WEC8500# configure terminal
WEC8500/configure# wlan 1
WEC8500/configure/wlan 1# tunnel-mode local-bridging

7.4.5 Sleeping Cell Detection
This is a function that allows the APC to detect the statuses of APs that are not performing
basic functions and transmit an alarm/warning.
Configuration using CLI
1) Enable/Disable: Configure whether the silent alarm detection function will be performed.
(Enable: function performing, Disable: function not performing)
WEC8500/configure/rrm# sleep-cell-detect
WEC8500/configure/rrm/sleep-cell-detect# enable
2) APC Threshold: Minimum number of connected users throughout the whole APC for
sleeping cell detection.
If the total number of STA associations is equal to or smaller than the APC threshold,
the day is judged as a holiday and consequently the sleeping cell detection is not
performed.
WEC8500/configure/rrm/sleep-cell-detect# apc-threshold
3) AP Threshold: Minimum number of users connected to an AP for sleeping cell detection.
If the number of STA associations of an AP is equal to or smaller than the AP threshold,
a silent alarm occurs.
WEC8500/configure/rrm/sleep-cell-detect# ap-threshold
4) PERIOD_1ST: Start and end times of sleeping cell detection for Specific Period 1.
(For a full day, set the start and end times as the same time.)
WEC8500/configure/rrm/sleep-cell-detect# period_1st
5) PERIOD_2ND: Start and end times of sleeping cell detection start for Specific Period 2.
(For a full day, set the start and end times as the same time.)
WEC8500/configure/rrm/sleep-cell-detect# period_2nd
6) PERIOD_ALL: Start and end times of sleeping cell detection for periods other than
Specific Periods 1 and 2.

7.4.6 Energy Saving Groups
The purpose is to reduce the power consumption of the APC by turning off the RF
radios of APs without any connected STA at a specific time when the number of STAs
connected to the APC drops drastically.
The APs of the APC are divided into the active group in which APs are always in
operation and the standby group in which the RF radios of APs are turned off.
When the standby group (energy saving group) is defined, the APC recognizes the
remaining APs as the active group. You can define up to 10 groups.
Configuration using CLI
1) Enable/Disable: Configure whether the energy saving function will be performed.
(Enable: function performing, Disable: function not performing)
WEC8500/configure/rrm# energy-saving-group 1
WEC8500/configure/rrm/energy-saving-group 1# enable
2) APC Threshold: Maximum number of connected users throughout the whole APC for
energy saving detection.
If the total number of STA associations is equal to or smaller than the APC threshold,
the day is judged as a holiday and the energy saving function is performed according
to the times set for weekends.
WEC8500/configure/rrm/energy-saving-group 1# apc-threshold
3) WEEKDAY: Start and end times of energy saving for weekdays.
(For a full day, set the start and end times as the same time.)
WEC8500/configure/rrm/energy-saving-group 1# weekday
4) WEEKDEND: Start and end times of energy saving for weekends.
(For a full day, set the start and end times as the same time.)
WEC8500/configure/rrm/energy-saving-group 1# weekend
5) ADD-AP: Add AP members to the energy saving group.
WEC8500/configure/rrm/energy-saving-group 1# add-ap
CHAPTER 7. WLAN Additional Services
© SAMSUNG Electronics Co., Ltd. page 297 of 628
6) DEL-AP: Delete AP members from the energy saving group.
WEC8500/configure/rrm/energy-saving-group 1# del-ap
Configuration using Web UI
From the menu bar of <WEC Main Window>, select <Configuration> and then select
<Radio> <Advanced> <Energy Saving Groups> <GROUP NAME> in the
submenus.
7.4.7 Energy Saving Auto Classification
The purpose of the AP without the connected STA at a specific time when the STA
connected to the APC is drastically reduced is to reduce power consumption of the APC by
turning off the RF radio of the AP.
The APs of the APC are classified into an active group to keep them at the operational
status all the time and a standby group to make their RF radio off at the designated time.
When the APC designates a standby group (energy saving group), the others are recognized
as an active group.
CHAPTER 7. WLAN Additional Services
© SAMSUNG Electronics Co., Ltd. page 298 of 628
Up to 20 groups can be designated (Same as WEC8500/WEC8050).
Energy Saving Auto Classification is not a method under which the operator configures a
standby group but a method under which the system automatically classifies an energy
saving group by using the analysis of each AP.
For the convenience of the operator, the existing Energy Saving Groups and Energy Saving
Auto Classification functions can be used by mixture. In short, as shown in the existing
method, only Energy Saving Groups or only Energy Saving Auto Classification or both can
be used.
Configuration using CLI
1) Enable/Disable: Check the configuration of whether the Energy Saving Auto
Classification function operates.
(Enable: Function operation, Disable: No function operation)
WEC8500/configure/rrm# energy-saving-auto-class
WEC8500/configure/rrm/energy-saving-auto-class# enable
2) APC Threshold: The maximum number of all users connecting to the APC for Energy
Saving Auto Classification
If the number of all STA associations is less than APC threshold, the day is considered
as a holiday and the Energy Saving Auto Classification function operates depending
on the weekend setting time.
WEC8500/configure/rrm/energy-saving-auto-class# apc-threshold
3) WEEKDAY: Energy saving start/end time on a weekday
(For all day, the start time and the end time are set to the same time.)
WEC8500/configure/rrm/energy-saving-auto-class# weekday
4) WEEKDEND: Energy saving start/end time on a weekend
(For all day, the start time and the end time are set to the same time.)
WEC8500/configure/rrm/energy-saving-auto-class# weekend
5) UNCONDITIONAL RADIO OFF: Configure whether the AP radio is turned off
unconditionally, regardless of the connection of the STA.
(radio_off_unconditionally: Unconditionally off, no radio_off_unconditionally: If the
STA is connected, keep the state ON.)
../configure/rrm/energy-saving-auto-class# radio_off_unconditionally
