Field Description
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 drop-down menu to choose percentages ranging from 5% to 75%.
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 re-assigned. However; if you re-se
t
the
minimal channel interference benefit to 25 percent and click "Update",
the proposed channel plan will be implemented and channels re-assigned
as needed.
Determine if there is
better set of channel
settings every
Use the drop-down menu to 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 re-assessed and the resulting channel
plan applied every hour).
Note: Keep in mind that every time the channel planner is triggered, the
AP’s operating channel may change and clients will have to re-associate.
Therefore, setting the planning interval for less than an hour can
destabilize wireless access for clients.
Update Advanced Settings
Click Update, under “Advanced settings”, to apply these settings.
Advanced settings will take affect when they are applied, and influence how automatic channel
management is performed. (The new interference reduction minimum, scheduled tuning interval, channel
set, and network busy settings will be taken into account for automated and manual updates.)
