Command Usage
• The available channel settings are limited by local
regulations, which determine the number of channels that
are available.
• When multiple access points are deployed in the same area,
be sure to choose a channel separated by at least four
channels for 802.11a to avoid having the channels interfere
with each other, and at least five channels for 802.11b/g.
You can deploy up to four access points in the same area
for 802.11a (e.g., channels 36, 56, 149, 165) and three
access points for 802.11b/g (e.g., channels 1, 6, 11).
