Auto-RF
The Auto-RF feature dynamically assigns channel and power settings to AP radios, and adjusts those settings
when needed. Auto-RF can perform the following tasks:
Assign initial channel and power settings when an AP radio is started.
Periodically assess the RF environment and change the channel or power setting if needed.
Change the transmit data rate or power to maintain at least the minimum data rate with all associated
clients.
By default, Auto-RF is enabled for channel configuration but disabled for power configuration.
(For more information, see “Configuring Auto-RF” (page 321).)
Default radio profile
WSS Software contains one default radio profile, named default. To apply common parameters to radios, you
can modify the default profile or create a new one. When you create a new profile, the radio parameters in the
profile are set to their factory default values.
Radio-specific parameters
The channel number, transmit power, and external antenna parameters are unique to each radio and are not
controlled by radio profiles. Table 5 lists the defaults for these parameters.
rts-threshold 2346 Transmits frames longer than 2346 bytes
by means of the Request-to-Send/
Clear-to-Send (RTS/CTS) method.
service-profile No service
profiles defined
You must configure a service profile. The
service profile sets the SSID name and
other parameters.
wmm-powersave disable Requires clients to send a separate PSpoll
to retrieve each unicast packet buffered
by the AP radio.
