Viewing Last Proposed Set of Changes
The Proposed Channel Assignments shows the last channel plan. The plan lists all access points in the
cluster by IP Address, and shows the proposed channels for each AP. Locked channels will not be
re-assigned and the optimization of channel distribution among APs will take into account the fact that
locked APs must remain on their current channels. APs that are not "Locked" may be assigned to
different channels than they were previously using, depending on the results of the plan.
Field
Description
IP Address Specifies the IP Address for the access point.
Current Indicates the radio channel on which this access point is currently broadcasting.
Proposed
Channel
Indicates the radio channel to which this access point would be re-assigned if the
Channel Plan is executed.
Configuring Advanced Settings (Customizing and Scheduling Channel
Plans)
If you use Channel Management as provided (without updating Advanced Settings), channels are
automatically fine-tuned once every hour if interference can be reduced by 25 percent or more. Channels
will be re-assigned even if the network is busy. The appropriate channel sets will be used (b/g for APs
using IEEE 802.11b/g and a for APs using IEEE 802.11a).
These defaults are designed to satisfy most scenarios where you would need to implement channel
management.
You can use “Advanced Settings” to modify the interference reduction potential that triggers channel re-
assignment, change the schedule for automatic updates, and re-configure the channel set used for
assignments.
Field Description
Advanced Click "Advanced" toggle to show / hide display settings that modify
timing and details of the channel planning algorithm.
By default, these settings are hidden.
