Configuring the AP
60 AP-4131 Access Point Product Reference Guide
Once the country has been configured (Country Config) on the AP
Installation screen the channel can be set manually or automatically.
2. Configure the AP system settings as required:
Channel Specifies the channel that is requested by all
associated MUs when associating with this
particular access point.
Auto Channel
Select
Normally run once during initial installation.
1. Power up the AP and select Auto Channel
Select
(ACS). Press <spacebar> or
<-/-> to enable or disable. To save
configuration, select
F1.
2. On the next power up, the AP scans all
channels and selects a non-overlapping
channel with the fewest APs. The AP saves
the channel in FLASH (the power LED
flashes during this process) and turns off
ACS. The AP flashes its LEDs as if powering
up and returns to a STATUS-flashing state
when complete.
Non-overlapping channels have 25Mhz
separation beginning at the first allowed channel
for the country (for the US and most of Europe,
channels 1, 6 & 11 are used). The channel
selection process groups all APs heard over RF
into non-overlapping bands. Then compares the
quantities of APs with received signal strengths
above the average signal strength. Ties are
broken based on the AP's MAC address.
