Using Automatic Channel Assignments
The automatic channel assignment feature can improve the performance
of your wireless network because it tests for interference on the radios of
the access points in the cluster and automatically changes the channel
assignments of the radios to reduce or eliminate the interference. The
feature can test for interference between members of a cluster as well as
between cluster and non-cluster members. You may specify the potential
interference reductions that initiate a channel reassignment as well the
timing of the tests.
Note
Enabling and configuring automatic channel assignments are
shared procedures for the access points of a cluster. Configuring the
feature on one unit configures it on all units.
Enabling
Automatic
Channel
Assignments
To configure automatic channel assignments for the access points of the
cluster, perform the following procedure:
1. Select Channel Management from the Cluster menu.
The access point displays the “Automatically manage channel
assignments” window. The example of the window in Figure 32 is of a
cluster of two access points.
Figure 32. Automatically Manage Channel Assignments Window
This is how the window is displayed when automatic channel
assignment is disabled. The Current Channel Assignments table
lists the radios of the cluster and their channel assignments. The
columns in the table are described in Table 13 on page 110.
