5. If you do not want an access point in the cluster to change its radio
channels as part of the automatic channel assignments feature, click
the corresponding Locked dialog box in the Current Channel
Assignments section of the window and click the Apply button.
Each access point has only one dialog box, located on the line for the
2.4 GHz radio. However, the dialog box controls both radios. When the
dialog box has a check mark, the channels for both the 2.4 and 5 GHz
radios in the access point are locked and cannot be changed. To
unlock the channels of the radios, click the dialog box to remove the
check mark. (The dialog boxes are displayed in the Current Channel
Assignments table only when automatic channel assignment is
enabled on the access points of the cluster.)
The access points of the cluster are now running the automatic
channel assignments feature.

Parameter Description
Change channels if
interference is reduced by
at least Specifies the potential interference
reduction that initiates a channel
reassignment. The value is a percentage
of potential reduction. At the default of
75%, a channel reassignment would need
a potential interference reduction of at
least 75% before an access point would
perform it. The higher the value, the less
frequently the access point is likely to
perform channel reassignments.
Determine if there is a
better set of channel
settings every Specifies the time interval at which the
access point tests for interference and, if
necessary, performs channel
reassignments. The default is once every
hour.
