to implement channel management.
You can use
Advanced
settings to modify the interference reduction potential that triggers channel
reassignment, change the schedule for automatic updates, and reconfigure the channel set used for
assignments

to show or hide display settings that modify
timing and details of the channel planning algorithm.
By default, advanced settings are hidden.
Change channels if interference is reduced by at least
Specify the minimum percentage of interference reduction a
proposed plan must achieve in order to be applied. The
default is 25 percent.
Use the list to select percentages ranging from 5 percent to
75 percent.
This setting lets you set a gating factor for channel
reassignment so that the network is not continually disrupted
for minimal gains in efficiency.
For example, if channel interference must be reduced by 75
percent and the proposed channel assignments will only
reduce interference by 30 percent, then channels will not be
reassigned. However; if you reset the minimal channel
interference benefit to 25 percent and click
Update
, the
proposed channel plan will be implemented and channels
reassigned as needed.
Determine if there is better set of channels every
Specify the schedule for automated updates.
A range of intervals is provided, from 1 minute to 6 months
The default is 1 hour (channel usage assessed and the
resulting channel plan applied every hour).
Use these channels when applying channel assignments
Choose a set of non-interfering channels. The choices are:
• b/g channels 1-6-11
• b/g channels 1-4-8-11
IEEE
802.11b and 802.11g
modes support use of channels 1
through 11. For b and g radio bands, the classic set of non-
interfering channels is 1, 6, and 11. Channels 1, 4, 8, and 11
produce minimal overlap.
