Chapter 8: Channel Management
Viewing Last Proposed Set Of Changes

Psion Teklogix 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway User Manual
8.3.3 Viewing Last Proposed Set Of Changes
The Last Proposed Set of Channel Changes shows the last channel plan. The plan
lists all access points in the cluster by IP Address, and shows the current and pro-
posed 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.
8.3.4 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.
